Create Trigger : update table column by inserting data into another table rows - mysql

Question

Please Help me to create triggers,
I have 2 tables of
data
+---------+------------+-------+-------+
| id | info_id | rate | qty | total |
+----+---------+------------+----------+
| 80 | 10 | 150 | 5 | 750 |
+----+---------+-------+-------+-------+
| 81 | 10 | 50 | 5 | 250 |
+--------------+-------+-------+-------+
info
+---------+---------------+------------+
| id | name | gtotal | dated |
+-----+--------+----------+------------+
| 10 | Hari | NULL | 2021-05-15 |
+---------+------------+---------------+
I want to create a trigger through phpmyadmin, as soon as data will be inserted, then info.gtotal will be updated by adding data.total from matched info_id from table name- data.
what will be the trigger if update on data happens too. I just want to create both triggers.
I am new with such, please help me. Any help is accepted.

Answer 1

You need to create two triggers one for insert and another for update.
CREATE TRIGGER `insert_trigger`
AFTER INSERT ON `data`
FOR EACH ROW
UPDATE info
SET gtotal = gtotal + new.total
WHERE id = new.info_id;
Here new.info_id will have the info_id value of newly insert record
CREATE TRIGGER `update_trigger`
AFTER UPDATE ON `data`
FOR EACH ROW
UPDATE info
SET gtotal = (gtotal - old.total) + new.total
WHERE id = new.info_id;
Here old.total will have the total value of record before updating. new.total is the total value after updation.
Since you haven't conveyed what to do after update I have added the logic of subtracting the total from old total and added the new total value. Change it as per your requirement.
You can also create these triggers using GUI in phpmyadmin. You have to select the triggers in the menu bar and add the trigger definition.
