MySQL trigger creating error when migrating from DB2 - mysql

Question

I am trying to convert some DB2 queries to MySQL . I have tried to find some tools to convert the conversion . Unfortunately i din't find any conversions tools and some of the online tools are not converting properly. So i have tried to convert DB2 queries myself to MySQL .
I have started to create 3 trigger queries in MySQL . Unfortunately i am getting some syntax errors . These are the following queries were i migrated from DB2 to MySQL .
Trigger 1 :
CREATE TRIGGER SAMPLE_TABLE3 AFTER INSERT ON SAMPLE_TABLE4
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO LICENSE_REVISION(LICENSE, LICENSE_REV) VALUES (NEW.ID, (NEXT VALUE FOR REVISION));
END;
Here i am getting syntax error
right syntax to use near 'VALUE FOR REVISION));
END' at line 9
I think the problem due to NEXT VALUE FOR .
Question 1 :
Is it any NEXT VALUE FOR alternative for MySQL ?
In trigger 2 , i am doing
CREATE TRIGGER SAMPLE_TRIGGER AFTER UPDATE OF SUPPORT__SERVER_UPS ON SETTINGS
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN ATOMIC
FOR d AS SELECT ID AS D_ID FROM DOMAIN
DO UPDATE DOMAIN_REVISION DR SET DR.SERVER_DOMAIN_REV = (NEXT VALUE FOR REVISION) WHERE DR.DOMAIN = D_ID;
END FOR;
END;
and getting error :
right syntax to use near 'OF SUPPORT__SERVER_UPS ON SETTINGS
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
FOR EAC' at line 6
i think the problem is AFTER UPDATE OF with column and i am suspecting FOR d AS line 4 and BEGIN ATOMIC too .
Question 2 :
Can i use AFTER UPDATE OF with column in MySQL ? and any mistakes
in FOR d AS line no 4 and BEGIN ATOMIC line 3 .
if i have use multiple column values like
trigger :
CREATE TRIGGER SAMPLE_4 AFTER UPDATE OF IPV4_FIRST, IPV4, IPV4_MASK, IPV6_FIRST, IPV6, IPV6_MASK ON VIRTUAL_NETWORK
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
FOR d AS SELECT DOMAIN AS D_ID FROM DOMAIN_VIRTUAL_NETWORK WHERE VIRTUAL_NETWORK=NEW.ID
DO UPDATE DOMAIN_REVISION DR SET DR.CLIENT_NETWORK_REV = (NEXT VALUE FOR REVISION) WHERE DR.DOMAIN = D_ID;
END FOR;
END;
How can i approach this problem ? Should i use like this
IF NEW.a <> OLD.a or NEW.b <> OLD.b ?
I am beginner in this and i want to help to migrate . I know these are syntax problem and not valid questions . Please help or suggestion .
Update :
I have tried with last_insert_id and CURSOR . This is the working code now :
CREATE TRIGGER SAMPLE_TRIGGER AFTER UPDATE ON SETTINGS
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE my_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT ID AS D_ID FROM DOMAIN;
IF NEW.SUPPORT__SERVER_UPS <=> OLD.SUPPORT__SERVER_UPS THEN
open my_cursor;
my_loop: loop
FETCH my_cursor INTO D_ID;
UPDATE DOMAIN_REVISION DR SET DR.SERVER_DOMAIN_REV = (last_insert_id()) WHERE DR.DOMAIN = D_ID;
end loop my_loop;
close my_cursor;
END IF;
END;

Sequences
MySQL doesn't have sequence objects. NEXT VALUE FOR <sequence> is not supported in MySQL.
There's an awkward workaround to simulate a sequence by creating a single table that you increment every time you want a new value.
mysql> create table sequence (id int not null primary key );
mysql> insert into sequence values (0);
mysql> update sequence set id = last_insert_id(id+1);
mysql> select last_insert_id();
+------------------+
| last_insert_id() |
+------------------+
| 1 |
+------------------+
But every time you would use NEXT VALUE FOR <sequence> you would repeat the last two steps above. The last_insert_id() function in MySQL is more or less like DB2's IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL(). Read full docs on last_insert_id() function here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/information-functions.html#function_last-insert-id
Column triggers
MySQL trigger declaration syntax is like
CREATE TRIGGER SAMPLE_TRIGGER AFTER UPDATE ON SETTINGS
FOR EACH ROW ...
MySQL supports no "OF" clause. That's used in DB2 for triggering on the update of specific columns, but MySQL doesn't support triggers on specific columns.
Loops
The FOR d AS SELECT ... loop construct is not supported by MySQL. If you need to do a loop, you need to learn about CURSOR syntax. See examples at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/cursors.html
