Creating a BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER IN MYSQL - mysql

Question

I need help creating a BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER on mySQL Bench. im new to this please.
CREATE TABLE `quincyninying`.`toytracking` (
`Toyid` INT NOT NULL,
`ToyName` VARCHAR(50) NULL,
`Toycost` DECIMAL NULL,
`ToyAction` VARCHAR(50) NULL,
`ActionDate` DATETIME NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Toyid`));
CREATE TABLE `quincyninying`.`toy` (
`Toyid` INT NOT NULL,
`ToyName` VARCHAR(50) NULL,
`Toycost` DECIMAL NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Toyid`));
Create a BEFORE INSERT trigger on the toy table that adds a record to the toytracking table with the information from the toy table record that is being INSERTED, hard coded ToyAction that will be ‘INSERT’ and the current Date and time the record is inserted.
ERROR 1054: Unknown column 'inserted' in 'NEW' SQL Statement:
CREATE DEFINER = CURRENT_USER TRIGGER `quincyninying`.`toy_BEFORE_INSERT` BEFORE INSERT ON `toy`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF new.inserted THEN
SET #toyaction = 'DELETE';
ELSE
SET #toyaction = 'NEW';
END IF;
INSERT INTO `quincyninying`.`toytracking` (toyId, ToyName, ToyCost, Toyaction, ActionDate)
VALUES (new.toyid, new.Toyname, new.Toycost,#Toyaction, now());
END
It throws me an error saying " ERROR 1054: Unknown column 'inserted' in 'NEW' "

Answer 1

Get rid of the IF new.inserted test, since there's no column with that name, and just hard-code INSERT as the value for the ToyAction column as you stated in the requirements.
CREATE DEFINER = CURRENT_USER TRIGGER `quincyninying`.`toy_BEFORE_INSERT` BEFORE INSERT ON `toy`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO `quincyninying`.`toytracking` (toyId, ToyName, ToyCost, Toyaction, ActionDate)
VALUES (new.toyid, new.Toyname, new.Toycost, 'INSERT', now());
END

Answer 2

Try this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE
TRIGGER toy_before_insert BEFORE INSERT
ON toy
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
IF NEW.Toyaction THEN
SET #Toyaction = 'DELETE';
ELSE
SET #Toyaction = 'NEW';
END IF;
INSERT INTO toytracking (toyId, ToyName, ToyCost, Toyaction, ActionDate) VALUES (NEW.Toyid, NEW.ToyName, NEW.ToyCost, #Toyaction, NOW());
END$$
DELIMITER ;
