Answer 1

When you're getting an error, it's always helpful to specify what error. There is a syntax error in the raise_application_error call in your trigger. That procedure takes two arguments, a number and a string. You are passing in a single argument that is one long string.

create or replace trigger minimumwage
  before insert or update on Employee
  for each row
begin
  if :new.Wage < 7.25 
  then 
    raise_application_error(-20000,'Pay is below Texas minimum wage!');
  end if;
end;

should be valid assuming there is a WAGE column in your EMPLOYEE table.
