Welcome to the forum. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

Your problem is to do with the data model: you need to set up a one-to-many relationship between a table of customers and a table of addresses. Google for DATA NORMALIZATION or perhaps ENTITY RELATIONSHIP MODEL and you will find plenty of advice.

You need to build new data base table in which customers write their new information and make connection of it with old content table. By this why you can automatically get solution of your problem.
