error while delete ::::::self_reference_from_trigger.

Code:
trigger deleteTempAcc on Account (after update) {

account acc=trigger.new[0];

account acctodelete=[select Oracle_Company_ID__c from account where id=:acc.id ];

if(acctodelete.Oracle_Company_ID__c==0)
delete acctodelete;

}

A record can't delete itself in it's own trigger.  If the field the deletion is relying on is being updated by a person then the person should just udpate the field and delete the account themselves.  If the field is being updated by another trigger then maybe have that trigger delete the account?
