I'm trying to make a datetime field that automatically gets updated with the current time only if there was a change to a certain field.
It seems I have a syntax error.
CREATE OR ALTER TRIGGER last_progress_date
ON wp_task_mgr
AFTER UPDATE
AS BEGIN
IF UPDATE (progress_percentage)
SET last_progress_date = GETDATE()
END
Just for future reference, I found the answer here:
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/125203/simple-trigger-to-update-two-columns-in-one-table
MySQL query:
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER trig_1 before insert
ON <table_name> FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF new.due_date is not null and new.end_date='' then
set new.end_date=new.due_date;
end if;
IF new.end_date is not null and new.due_date='' then
set new.due_date=new.end_date;
end if;
END;
//
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER trig_2 before update
ON <table_name> FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF new.due_date <>old.due_date then
set new.end_date=new.due_date;
end if;
IF new.end_date <> old.end_date then
set new.due_date=new.end_date;
end if;
END;

I am trying to set up a TRIGGER to clear empty strings before INSERT. Not rocket science but I can't find the error in my syntax!
Here is the TRIGGER itself
USE `ga_abtest_logging`;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER avoid_empty
BEFORE INSERT ON daily_analytics
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF profileID = ''
THEN SET profileID = NULL
END IF;
END$$
Here is what workbench is showing:
On hover over the END IF it reads syntax error, unexpected END, expecting ';'
Could I have a problem with the settings on my DB? I have gone through the MySQL docs and I think the trigger looks right! Does anyone see anything obviously wrong?
You should make a few changes:
Use the NEW. prefix when referencing a column value
Add a semi-colon at the end of the line where you set the value
For example:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER tr_b_ins_daily_analytics BEFORE INSERT ON daily_analytics FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
IF (NEW.profileID = '')
THEN
SET NEW.profileID = NULL;
END IF;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
The code below should work.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER avoid_empty
BEFORE INSERT ON daily_analytics
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.profileID = ''
THEN SET NEW.profileID = NULL;
END IF;
END;$$
DELIMITER ;
I'm trying to change a value conditionally on my trigger, but I've got an error.
My trigger is:
CREATE TRIGGER `defineBase` BEFORE INSERT ON `perguntas`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.per_base = 0 THEN
SET NEW.per_base = (SELECT per_id FROM perguntas ORDER BY per_id DESC LIMIT 1) + 1;
END IF;
END;
but doesn't work.
You need to change the delimiter to something else than ;. Otherwise the trigger definition stops at the first ;
delimiter |
CREATE TRIGGER `defineBase` BEFORE INSERT ON `perguntas`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.per_base = 0 THEN
SET NEW.per_base = (SELECT per_id FROM perguntas ORDER BY per_id DESC LIMIT 1) + 1;
END IF;
END
|
delimiter ;
I also have the same problem. My SQL code before is just like this (without delimiter):
CREATE TRIGGER update_created_time BEFORE INSERT
ON contact FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SET NEW.created=NOW();
END
Then, after i add the following DELIMITER // and close it with the same //
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER update_created_time BEFORE INSERT
ON contact FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SET NEW.created=NOW();
END //
It works. I hope it can help someone in the future...
I have a MySQL(5.1.67) table 'tracker' with TIMESTAMP field 'close_time'.
In the same table I have string field 'status'.
I want to update close_time field with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP value when status field updated to specific text value, for example 'Closed'.
Here is sample with INSERT:
How can I write a trigger that updates rows in the same table, before the insert is commited?
I tried something like that:
CREATE TRIGGER `close_time_trigger` BEFORE UPDATE ON `tracker` FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.status = 'Closed' THEN
SET NEW.close_time = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
END IF;
END
But I got error: You have an error in your SQL syntax ... at line 4.
I tried some other variations which I found but none of them works.
Please help to create correct trigger for my case.
Did you set the DELIMITER?
This should work:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER `close_time_trigger` BEFORE UPDATE ON `tracker` FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.status = 'Closed' THEN
SET NEW.close_time = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
END IF;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
you didn't tell it what to update.
CREATE TRIGGER `close_time_trigger` BEFORE UPDATE ON `tracker` FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.status = 'Closed' THEN
update tracker
SET NEW.close_time = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
END IF;
END
my update trigger
BEGIN
DECLARE s VARCHAR(100);
IF (OLD.authUId <> NEW.authUId) THEN SET s = CONCAT(s,'&authUId=', OLD.authUId); END IF;
IF (OLD.autPId <> NEW.autPId) THEN SET s = CONCAT(s,'&autPId=', OLD.autPId); END IF;
.....
INSERT INTO l_dblog(src,newId,oldValue) VALUE('auth_up',new.authId,s);
END
inserted row oldValue column always null insert, whats my problem ?
I have delete trigger is succes work
my Delete trigger:
BEGIN
DECLARE s VARCHAR(60);
SET s = CONCAT('&authUId=', OLD.authUId,'&autPId=', OLD.autPId,'&authTypeId=', OLD.authTypeId,'&authValue=', OLD.authValue);
INSERT INTO l_dblog(src,newId,oldValue)
VALUE('auth_del',OLD.authId,s);
END
Thank you...
Set default value of variable s as blank in your update query and then check weather trigger is working or not. If not than what error you got after running the trigger.
BEGIN
DECLARE s VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT '';
IF (OLD.authUId <> NEW.authUId) THEN SET s = CONCAT(s,'&authUId=', OLD.authUId); END IF;
IF (OLD.autPId <> NEW.autPId) THEN SET s = CONCAT(s,'&autPId=', OLD.autPId); END IF;
.....
INSERT INTO l_dblog(src,newId,oldValue) VALUE('auth_up',new.authId,s);
END
I'm using mysqlimport to do mass table inserts (replacing duplicates primary keys). Several tables have date time columns with records containing values '0000-00-00'. What I would like is a trigger which detects these '0000-00-00' values and replaces with '1950-01-01', otherwise keep the datetime value in the record (i.e. when it's not '0000-00-00').
I have tried the following:
CREATE TRIGGER set_datetime BEFORE INSERT ON tbl
FOR EACH ROW
CASE
WHEN date_col='0000-00-00' THEN SET date_col='1950-01-01';
END CASE
Thank you.
EDIT
Update attempt:
CREATE TRIGGER set_datetime BEFORE INSERT ON tbl
FOR EACH ROW
IF (NEW.date_col='0000-00-00') THEN
SET NEW.date_col='1950-01-01';
END IF;
Still getting an error in the SET portion.
EDIT 2
WORKING:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER insert_check BEFORE INSERT ON ar
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.delivery_date='0000-00-00' THEN
SET NEW.delivery_date='1950-01-01';
END IF;
END; $$
DELIMITER ;
Use IF THEN :
IF (NEW.date_col = '0000-00-00') THEN
SET NEW.date_col='1950-01-01';
END IF;
CREATE TRIGGER set_datetime BEFORE INSERT ON tbl
FOR EACH ROW
IF YEAR(NEW.date_col)=0 THEN
SET NEW.date_col='1950-01-01 00:00:00';
END IF;
Give it a Try !!!
If you want, or need, to use 'case' then this should work:
SET NEW.date_col=CASE WHEN NEW.date_col='0000-00-00' THEN ='1950-01-01'
WHEN NEW.date_col='something else' THEN 'whatever'
ELSE 'default'
END CASE;
