You Asked

Sir,
I have 5 same functionality triggers on a single table, let's suppose t1,t2,t3,t4,t5. I want that trigger t3 should execute at first. Is this possible? If yes then how? Please give some explanation also.

Thanks & Regards

Check out the FOLLOWS clause in triggers.

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41084/statements_7004.htm#i2235611

You can then say that (for example):

T2 follows T1
T3 follows T2
T4 follows T3

etc
etc

and hence have any explicit order you like
