Simple Trigger Error?! PL/SQL: ORA-00933: - php

Question

I am attempting to create a trigger that will insert values into an audit table for approval by an admin user. The trigger will insert new values that are added into a consultant table into this audit table.
I have re-jigged the trigger a lot but cannot seem to bypass the compilation error! I assume it's something small?
DROP TABLE MyAuditTable;
CREATE TABLE MyAuditTable (
audit_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
new_name VARCHAR2 (30),
new_postcode VARCHAR2 (20),
status VARCHAR2 (15),
CONSTRAINT pk_MyAuditTable PRIMARY KEY ( audit_id )
);
DROP sequence MySeq;
Create sequence MySeq MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1;
drop trigger MyTrigger;
create trigger MyTrigger
after insert on my_consultant_table
for each row
begin
insert into MyAuditTable values (
MySeq.nextval, :new.con_name,
:new.con_postcode,
'Pending'
)
from my_consultant_table;
end;
/
ERROR: PL/SQL: ORA-00933:
So the audit table should now have the newly inputted data from the consultant table, which contains name and postcode attributes. Another trigger will fire so that when the status is changed, these changes are permitted.
Thank You!

Answer 1

The line
from my_consultant_table
Is unnecessary.
Should be:
insert into MyAuditTable values (MySeq.nextval, :new.con_name, :new.con_postcode, 'Pending');

Answer 2

This ORA-00933 denotes a syntax error in your trigger declaration :
begin
insert into MyAuditTable values (
MySeq.nextval, :new.con_name,
:new.con_postcode,
'Pending'
)
from my_consultant_table;
end;
The trailing from my_consultant_table does not make sense, just remove it and you should be fine :
begin
insert into MyAuditTable values (
MySeq.nextval, :new.con_name,
:new.con_postcode,
'Pending'
);
end;

Answer 3

Try this:
begin
insert into MyAuditTable
select
MySeq.nextval,
:new.con_name,
:new.con_postcode,
'Pending'
from dual;
end;
One Tip: When u create a sequence and always use from 1 to 9999999.... anc increment one by one.
Just use
create sequence owner.table nocache;
