Trick to generate trigger codes for some of the tables

Hi List,

We have a requirement in generating triggers for a set of configured 
tables in our database ( Oracle 10g) . I am thinking to write a procedure 
which reads the table names configured  and create trigger for each table 
with a defined business ( Its just for audit , so the trigger code is same 
for table A and B but the name and columns might differ , the basic logic 
is same.)

The problem I am facing is that , in  my generic procedure  I am not able 
to generate the trigger string and execute it using 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE' as 
for some of our tables when all columns and trigger code is appended the 
string goes beyond 4000( defined as VARCHAR2) .

The same will happen even if I use COLLECTIONS,TYPES or any object ?

Is there any other tricks to accomplish this, other than

1. Writing/ Spooling the results to a file and executing this file to 
create a trigger ( I don't want to create the trigger source codes and 
maintain the file)
2.Writing individual trigger codes.

Any tweaks and tricks is appreciated.

The basic template would be

CREATE TRIGGER BEFORE EACH ROW
BEGIN
        IF INSERTING
                INSERT TO SOME TABLE
        IF UPDATING
                INSERT TO SOME TABLE
        IF DELETING
                INSERT TO SOME TABLE
END;
/


Thank You,

Kind Regards,
