Oracle Error ORA-04091: table string.string is mutating, trigger/function may not see it

Oracle Error Message

ORA-04091: table string.string is mutating, trigger/function may not see it

Reason for the Error

A trigger (or a user defined plsql function that is referenced in this statement) attempted to look at (or modify) a table that was in the middle of being modified by the statement which fired it.

Solution

Rewrite the trigger (or function) so it does not read that table.
