I am using Squirrel SQL Client 3.7.1 version. I am unable to see the triggers available in the database. How do i see the trigger's in Squirrel SQL client tool.
I only see the tables. Could someone help me on this. Do i have to install any plug-ins ?
One of the easiest ways to do this would be to do the following:
select * from sys.trigger
This will at least allow you to see if the triggers you created are actually in the database.
In this data, you should see an object_id. This is used in various places throughout the database. You can find information in sys.objects, for example, you'll see a parent_object_id. From the same view, then, you'd be able to get the table for which this trigger belongs.
But what you are probably looking for is the the actual DDL used for the trigger. This can be found in the sys.all_sql_modules view. Simply plug in the object_id you got from above and look for the definition column. So, something like:
select definition from sys.all_sql_modules where object_id = ###
Hope this helps!

So I'm kind of stumped.
I have a MySql project that involves a database table that is being manipulated and altered by scripts on a regular basis. This isn't so unusual, but I need to automate a script to run (after hours, when changes aren't happening) that would save the result of the following:
SHOW CREATE TABLE [table-name];
This command generates the ready-to-run script that would create the (empty) table in it's current state.
In SqlWorkbench and Navicat it displays the result of this SHOW command in a field in a result set, as if it was the result of a SELECT statement.
Ideally, I want to take into a variable in a procedure, and change the table name; adding a '-mm-dd-yyyy' to end of it, so I could show the day-to-day changes in the table schema on an active server.
However, I can't seem to be able to do that. Unlike a Select result set, I can't use it like that. I can't get it in a variable, or save it to a temporary, or physical table or anything. I even tried to return this as a value in a function, from which I got the error that a function cannot return a result set - which explains why it's displayed like one in the db clients.
I suspect that this is a security thing in MySql? If so, I can totally understand why and see the dangers exposed to a hacker, but this isn't a public-facing box at all, and I have full root/admin access to it. Hopefully somebody has already tackled this problem before.
This is on MySql 8, btw.
[Edit] After my first initial comments, I need to add; I'm not concerned about the data with this question whatsoever, but rather just these schema changes.
What I'd really -like- to do is this:
SELECT `Create Table` FROM ( SHOW CREATE TABLE carts )
But this seems to be mixing apples and oranges, as SHOW and SELECT aren't created equal, although they both seem to return the same sort of object
You cannot do it in the MySQL stored procedure language.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/show.html says:
Many MySQL APIs (such as PHP) enable you to treat the result returned from a SHOW statement as you would a result set from a SELECT; see Chapter 29, Connectors and APIs, or your API documentation for more information. In addition, you can work in SQL with results from queries on tables in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database, which you cannot easily do with results from SHOW statements. See Chapter 26, INFORMATION_SCHEMA Tables.
What is absent from this paragraph is any mention of treating the results of SHOW commands like the results of SELECT queries in other contexts. There is no support for setting a variable to the result of a SHOW command, or using INTO, or running SHOW in a subquery.
So you can capture the result returned by a SHOW command in a client programming language (Java, Python, PHP, etc.), and I suggest you do this.
In theory, all the information used by SHOW CREATE TABLE is accessible in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables (mostly TABLES and COLUMNS), but formatting a complete CREATE TABLE statement is a non-trivial exercise, and I wouldn't attempt it. For one thing, there are new features in every release of MySQL, e.g. new data types and table options, etc. So even if you could come up with the right query to produce this output, in a couple of years it would be out of date and it would be a thankless code maintenance chore to update it.
The closest solution I can think of, in pure MySQL, is to regularly clone the table structure (no data), like so:
CREATE TABLE backup_20220618 LIKE my_table;
As far as I know, to get your hands on the full explicit CREATE TABLE statement, as a string, would require the use of an external tool like mysqldump which was designed specifically for that purpose.
i facing problem while writing database query in jsp that uses a string patterns.
example : i want to know whether a table exists or not in database, the table name can start with any name but ends with " session". eg : guru_session, hellosession, etc.
how can write that query ?
here is my code in jsp :
DatabaseMetaData md = con.getMetaData();
ResultSet rs = md.getTables(null, null, "table_name_here", null);
i tried using "*session" to check a table name "guru_session" exists or not .
but its not working. give me some help here.
The first thing, javascript and java are different languages. In your case javascript works in a client browser, when java runs on a server.
There is a way to interact between client and server via javascript asynchronously in background. Your task appears a bit strange, and in my experience when a developer needs to make non-elegant decisions upon development process, then there's something wrong with the whole application structure. It could be useful to reconsider the architecture of your solution.
It depends on a database platform, but table names are stored in system tables. Check system tables for your particular RDBMS platform, and query these system table(s) to get information you need. You can do it asynchronously in background via ajax calls to a servlet on the server and act accordingly on the client's browser.
Good luck.
You need to run a query like that:
SELECT *
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_name LIKE '%session';
I think that this approach can help you.
In MySQL I have a single database with one schema. In Microsoft Sql Server it is recommended to use a "Tenant View Filter" so in Microsoft Sql Server this gives me exactly what I need.
CREATE VIEW TenantEmployees AS
SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE TenantID = SUSER_SID()
What is the best way to accomplish the same in MySQL? An equivalent to the "Tenant View Filter" will work if it is performs well.
Thanks!!
The query you suggest (that I could find in MSDN) has text afterwards that explains exactly what are its assumptions. In particular, it mentions that it assumes that the "owner" of a row in the Employees table is specified in the TenantID field that is populated according to the SID of the user(s) you are partitioning for.
What that means is that you can replicate the same idea whatever way you decide to implement your data as long as you have clearly defined partitions of the data and know exactly how to associate it with the table you are creating a view for.
In particular, if you configure your system so that each partition accesses the DB with its own credentials, you could use the CURRENT_USER or USER constructs of MySQL as the IDs defining your partitions and the query to create the view would be basically the same as the one suggested in MSDN replacing SUSER_ID with CURRENT_USER.
But if you use the same user to access from all the partitions, then the suggested method is irrelevant on either database server.
Since you need to use your tenantId value to perform filtering, a table valued user defined function would be ideal, as a view normally does not accept parameters. Unfortunately, unlike many other database products MySQL doesn't support table-valued functions. However, there are MySQL hacks that claim to emulate parametrized views. These could be useful for you.
It's a little tricky in MySQL, but it can be done:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW {viewName}
AS
SELECT {fieldListWithoutTenantID}
FROM {tableName}
WHERE (id_tenant = SUBSTRING_INDEX(USER( ),'#',1))
I wrote up a full blog post on how I converted a single-tenant MySQL application to multi-tenant in one weekend with minimal changes. https://opensource.io/it/mysql-multi-tenant/
I want to add some fake records/rows for in the table for MS SQL 2008 Standard Edition database and use these records to monitor my database.
The purpose for this is to monitor hackers. It is possible to create a trigger to do this. It seemed like the DDL Triggers can not do this tasks.
If you can't control access to your database via stored procedures (where you could add your own logging), you will need to use auditing or server-side trace for this. There is no such thing as a select trigger and there are no DMVs that will tell you which rows were looked at via any select action.
Does anyone know of a way to embed comments in MySQL statements? When I search for mysql and comments I get only ways to put comments in tables, etc
The idea, if I implement this the way my boss wants it, is to prepend the user id to the statement apparently so that when MySQL is analyzed later (via the binary log) we know who did what.
Example:
SELECT id
FROM customer
WHERE handle='JBH'
Would now show up as:
-- user:jwilkie
SELECT id
FROM customer
WHERE handle='JBH'
(or similar)
EDIT FOR CLARITY: The reason for this is that we have perl modules that are interfacing with MySQL and we are retrieving the user id by reading $ENV{USER} (which in this case is "jwilkie"). It is a situation where we have one MySQL user defined but multiple people running the perl mod.
Does anyone have experience with this? Many many thanks! Jane
Normally, comments are stripped before the SQL statement is recorded in the binary log. However, a nasty workaround is to pretend that ypur comment contains syntax for some future version of MySQL - eg. 9.99.99:
/*!99999 user:jwilkie */ insert into tbl values (yyy);
These comments will then be passed through into the binary log.
If you have control over the SQL queries being generated, then you should be able to embed comments in them programatically in your query builder.
Select queries don't go in the binary log, but the comments may make it into the slow query log, general query log, etc.
Here's a blog post from Percona that touches on the subject a bit, specifically in the context of mk-query-digest. It might help:
