Problems with syntax on MySQL trigger in PHP My Admin - mysql

I am having problems getting this trigger to work. Here is the code:
BEGIN
DECLARE newprice double;
DECLARE id int;
DECLARE rentdate DATE;
SET id := RESERVATION.RES_ID;
SET rentdate := "SELECT RES_RENT_DATE
FROM RESERVATION
WHERE RES_ID = id";
SET newprice := (NEW.RES_RETURN_DATE - rentdate)*RESERVATION.RES_CAR_PPD;
UPDATE RESERVATION
SET RESERVATION.RES_TOTAL_PRICE = newprice WHERE
RESERVATION.RES_ID = id;
END
Basically what I want to do is just update the total price when the return date of a car is changed. The trigger should execute on update of the Return Date. When updating it gives me the error: #1109 - Unknown table 'RESERVATION' in field list . I do not know what I am doing wrong.

There are several issues:
You can't arbitrarily refer to table columns like you did in SET id := RESERVATION.RES_ID;. You can refer to columns only either in a valid SQL statement (e.g. SELECT) or through NEW/OLD.
You can't issue DML statement (in your case UPADTE) on the same table on which you defined the trigger. This mutating behavior is prohibited in MySQL.
If I understand correctly and all values you need are in the same row, all you need is to use a BEFORE trigger. See example below.
Your trigger can be boiled down to this
CREATE TRIGGER tg_bu_reservation
BEFORE UPDATE ON reservation
FOR EACH ROW
SET NEW.res_total_price = (NEW.res_return_date - NEW.res_rent_date) * NEW.res_car_ppd;
Note: since it's a one statement trigger now there is no need in BEGIN...END block and changing a DELIMITER.
Here is SQLFiddle demo

Updating a column name of a same table which has a parent child relationship using mysql

I searched a lot of doing a task but found no appropriate solution.
Basically the scenario is. I have a user_comment table in which there are 5 column(id,parent_id,user_comments,is_deleted,modified_datetime). There is a parent child relationship like 1->2,1->3,2->4,2->5,5->7 etc. Now i am sending the id from the front end and i want to update the column is_deleted to 1 and modified_datetime on all the records on
this id as well as the all the children and children's of children.
I am trying to doing this by using a recursive procedure. Below is the code of my procedure
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `user_comments`(
IN mode varchar(45),
IN comment_id int,
)
BEGIN
DECLARE p_id INT DEFAULT NULL ;
if(mode = 'delete')
then
update user_comment set is_deleted = 1, modified_datetime = now()
where id = comment_id ;
select id from user_comment where parent_id = comment_id into p_id ;
if p_id is not null
then
SET ##GLOBAL.max_sp_recursion_depth = 255;
SET ##session.max_sp_recursion_depth = 255;
call user_comments('delete', p_id);
end if;
end if;
END
By using this procedure it give me an error of more than one row.
If i return the select query without giving it to variable then shows me the the appropriate results on the select query but i have to call this procedure recursively based on getting the ids of the select query.
I need help i have already passed 2 days into this.
I used cursor also. Below is the code of cursor
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `user_comments`(
IN mode varchar(45),
IN comment_id int,
)
BEGIN
DECLARE p_emp int;
DECLARE noMoreRow INT;
DECLARE cur_emp CURSOR FOR select id from user_comment where parent_id = comment_id ;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET noMoreRow = 0;
if(mode = 'delete')
then
OPEN cur_emp;
LOOPROWS: LOOP
IF noMoreRow = 0 THEN
update user_comment set is_deleted = 1, modified_datetime = now() where id = comment_id
CLOSE cur_emp;
LEAVE LOOPROWS;
END IF;
FETCH cur_emp INTO p_emp;
update user_comment set is_deleted = 1, modified_datetime = now() where id = p_emp ;
SET ##GLOBAL.max_sp_recursion_depth = 255;
SET ##session.max_sp_recursion_depth = 255;
call user_comments('delete', p_emp);
END LOOP;
end if;
END
After using cursor i am getting a thread error.i don't know how can overcome this problem!!!
Mysql's documentation on select ... into varlist clearly says:
The selected values are assigned to the variables. The number of
variables must match the number of columns. The query should return a
single row. If the query returns no rows, a warning with error code
1329 occurs (No data), and the variable values remain unchanged. If
the query returns multiple rows, error 1172 occurs (Result consisted
of more than one row). If it is possible that the statement may
retrieve multiple rows, you can use LIMIT 1 to limit the result set to
a single row.
Since you wrote in the OP that a comment can be parent of many comments, using simple variables cannot be a solution. You should use a CURSOR instead, that can store an entire resultset.
You loop through the records within the cursos as shown in the sample code in the above link and call user_comments() in a recursive way.
UPDATE
If your receive
Error Code: 1436. Thread stack overrun
error, then you can do 2 things:
Increase the thread_stack setting in the config file and restart mysql server.
You can try to simplify your code to use less recursions and therefore less stack space. For example, when you fetch all children into the cursor, then rather calling the user_comments() recursively for each, you can set all direct children's status within the code and call the function recirsively on grand-childrens only (if any). You can also change your data structure and use nested set model to approach hierarchical structures.
Nested set model is more complex to understand, it is less resource intensive to traverse, but more resource intensive to maintain.

sql server UPDATE TRIGGER doesn't fire

i have a trigger like below, the logic is to change FID status after fidRule status changed.
in my app, i update 1 row in each statement,
but i found sometimes(very rare) the trigger not firing.
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[triggerSetFIDStatus]
ON [dbo].[FIDRules]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
set nocount on
DECLARE #ruleStatus INT
DECLARE #newRuleStatus INT
DECLARE #FIDAlertStatus INT
DECLARE #FIDId INT
DECLARE #isFIDEnabled int
DECLARE #ruleId INT
SELECT #ruleStatus = deleted.alertStatus,
#FIDId = deleted.FIDID,
#ruleId = deleted.id
from
deleted
SELECT #newRuleStatus = inserted.alertStatus
from
inserted
SELECT #FIDAlertStatus = alertStatus,
#isFIDEnabled= isEnabled
FROM FID
WHERE id = #FIDId
IF #FIDAlertStatus <> #newRuleStatus
BEGIN
-- change FID-status by FIDRule-status
UPDATE [dbo].[FID] SET alertStatus=#newRuleStatus WHERE id=#FIDId
END
IF #newRuleStatus >= 0 AND #newRuleStatus <> #ruleStatus
UPDATE [dbo].[FIDRules] SET isAlertStatChanged=1, AlertStatChangeTime = SYSUTCDATETIME() WHERE id=#ruleId
END
The trigger will not be fired if the UPDATE statement fails or another triggers fails to execute before this trigger is fired.
One comment about your trigger itself:
You are expecting one records from DELETED which is not always correct.
Please make your trigger robust enough in case DELETED contains multiple records
-- What if deleted contains multiple records?
SELECT #ruleStatus = deleted.alertStatus,
#FIDId = deleted.FIDID,
#ruleId = deleted.id
FROM
deleted
You can either use SELECT TOP(1) or make sure your trigger is able to handle multiple records from the DELETED list.

Assigning the value from a select statement to a vairable in MySQL

I'm fairly new to SQL in general and even more so to MySQL and I've hit a stumbling block. I'm attempting to use a procedure to copy the value of one field to another if the original field is not null, this procedure is then called by triggers whenever the table is updated or has a new row inserted into it. Here is what I have so far:
-- WORK_NOTES_PROCEDURE - This copies the contents of the estimate notes to the work order notes if the original estimate had any notes with it.
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS 'WORK_NOTES_PROCEDURE';
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE WORK_NOTES_PROCEDURE()
BEGIN
DECLARE var_temp VARCHAR(50);
SET var_temp := (SELECT ESTIMATE_NOTES FROM ESTIMATES WHERE ESTIMATES.ESTIMATE_NUMBER = WORK_ORDERS.ESTIMATE_NUMBER);
IF var_temp IS NOT NULL THEN
UPDATE WORK_ORDERS SET WORK_ORDER_NOTES = var_temp WHERE WORK_ORDERS.ESTIMATE NUMBER = ESTIMATES.ESTIMATE_NUMBER;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Absolutely any help would be appreciated, the error I'm getting is a syntax error for the line where I'm assigning a value to var_temp.
try,
SET var_temp = (SELECT ESTIMATE_NOTES
FROM ESTIMATES INNER JOIN WORK_ORDERS
ON ESTIMATES.ESTIMATE_NUMBER = WORK_ORDERS.ESTIMATE_NUMBER
LIMIT 1);

MySql Trigger Syntax to lookup a value in a table and update in the updated row

I'm converting some old legacy Interbase database to MySql and I am having some trouble converting triggers. This is what I came so far, but can't seem to understand what are the errors in the following triggers. Can you help fix the syntax?
DELIMITER ^
In these 2 cases it says into new.FinancialCode is incorrect. What is the correct form to accomplish this? (Lookup a value in a table and change it in the updated row)
Create Trigger triggerFinancialCode BEFORE UPDATE ON FLOW
FOR EACH ROW
begin
Select FinancialCode FROM Accounts where AccountCode = new.AccountCode
into new.FinancialCode ;
end ^
Create Trigger triggerFinancialCodePredicted BEFORE UPDATE ON PREDICTED_FLOW
FOR EACH ROW
begin
Select FinancialCode FROM Accounts where AccountCode = new.AccountCode
into new.FinancialCode ;
end ^
Try this code -
CREATE TRIGGER triggerFinancialCode BEFORE UPDATE ON FLOW
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SET #var = NULL;
SELECT FinancialCode INTO #var FROM Accounts WHERE AccountCode = NEW.AccountCode;
SET NEW.FinancialCode = #var;
END
Do the same for second trigger.

sql server trigger for custom PK

I want to generate PK through trigger as it is custom PK.
It is like depending on the member type field, I want to generate member id which is PK.
e.g. if new record's member type is DGIA, then member id will be DGIA1, DGIA2, DGIA3 ...and so on... if member type is DGIL, then member id will be DGIL1, DGIL2, DGIL3 ...and so on...
So, how to write trigger for the same... I have tried as following but it is working for 1st record only.
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[next_member_id] ON [dbo].[DAD_MEMBERSHIP] AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #COUNT INT
SET #COUNT=0;
SELECT #COUNT=ISNULL(MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING(DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_ID,5,15) AS INT)),0)+1 FROM DAD_MEMBERSHIP where DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_TYPE = DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_TYPE
update DAD_MEMBERSHIP set DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_ID = DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_TYPE + CONVERT(varchar,#COUNT)
from DAD_MEMBERSHIP inner join inserted on DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_TYPE = inserted.MEMBER_TYPE
END
Triggers operate by batch of records, you cannot assign to a scalar variable and expect it to work for more than one record. You need to rethink your whole process into a set-based process.
I solved the problem using following trigger
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[next_member_id]
ON [dbo].[DAD_MEMBERSHIP]
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #COUNT INT
SET #COUNT=0;
DECLARE #STR VARCHAR(5)
SET #STR=''
select #STR=i.MEMBER_TYPE from inserted i;
SELECT #COUNT=ISNULL(MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING(DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_ID,5,15) AS INT)),0)+1
from DAD_MEMBERSHIP where MEMBER_TYPE=#STR
update DAD_MEMBERSHIP set DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_ID = #STR + CONVERT(varchar,#COUNT)
from DAD_MEMBERSHIP inner join inserted i on i.MEMBER_TYPE=DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_TYPE where DAD_MEMBERSHIP.MEMBER_ID is null
END
