Yes, With Oracle 8i .. u can now do a Commit or Rollback from within a Trigger...a pre-condition is that u use the new:
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION 'thing' in the Declare Section.

Eg: create or replace trigger my_trg_air
after insert on my_table for each row
Declare

PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION ;

Begin
insert into my_table_history
values(:new.field,.......) ;

--now u can actually do a Commit Here!!!
COMMIT;
--u can go on and further rollback if u r not satisfied
exception
when my_defined_exception then
rollback;
raise_application_error(-20001,'i don't like it');

end;
/

Hope that Helps.
