insert is failing because of my trigger mysql - mysql

Question

I have a problem with my trigger code.
After I wrote my trigger I wrote Insert to test the trigger. But my Insert gets error as
Error Code:1109. Unknown table employees in field list.
If I put the insert before the trigger-everything works perfect. But I want this Insert to test the trigger.
drop database if exists kontrolno;
create database kontrolno;
use kontrolno;
CREATE TABLE departments(
id TINYINT UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY,
name CHAR(12) NOT NULL,
min_salary SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
max_salary SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE employees(
id SMALLINT UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
salary SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
department_id TINYINT UNSIGNED,
constraint FOREIGN KEY (department_id)
REFERENCES departments(id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
insert into departments(id,name,min_salary,max_salary)
values(1,"qa", 800,2000),
(2,"jd",1200,3500);
DROP TRIGGER if exists checkSalary;
delimiter |
create trigger checkSalary before Insert on employees
for each row
begin
if(employees.salary>max_salary OR employees.salary<min_salary)
then signal sqlstate '45000' set MESSAGE_TEXT="the salary is not valide";
end if;
end;
|
delimiter ;
insert into employees(id,name,salary,department_id)
values(1,"ivan", 200,1);

Answer 1

You had mistakes in your trigger code.
The trigger code should be:
DROP TRIGGER if exists checkSalary;
delimiter |
create trigger checkSalary before Insert on employees
for each row
begin
if(new.salary>(select max_salary from departments where id=new.department_id)
OR
new.salary<(select min_salary from departments where id=new.department_id) )
then signal sqlstate '45000' set MESSAGE_TEXT="the salary is not valid";
end if;
end;
|
delimiter ;
