Inserting new random uuid() in two tables in every insert - mysql

Question

I have created two tables which i want to insert similar data in.
CREATE TABLE one(
one_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (one_id)
)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE two(
two_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (two_id)
)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
every time in run insert.
To do that,i am using transactions
START TRANSACTION;
SET #name = uuid();
INSERT INTO one(one_id,name) VALUES (Null,#name);
INSERT INTO two(two_id, name) VALUES (Null, #name);
COMMIT;
This does not produce new values on new inserts.It however inserts the same data in the field name as i wanted.
How can i make this work?.

Answer 1

I don't see a need to move to transactions in order to do that, just add an before insert trigger to the table .
Something like :
CREATE TRIGGER `ONE_TABLE_TRIGG` BEFORE INSERT ON `one`
FOR EACH
ROW BEGIN
SET NEW.name= UUID( );
END ;
You can check if it's null before doing that. do this on both tables and you're good or add insert to the other table on 1 trigger.

I solved it without much complexities by having several having several transaction statements in the same file
START TRANSACTION;
SET #name = uuid();
INSERT INTO one(one_id,name) VALUES (Null,#name);
INSERT INTO two(two_id, name) VALUES (Null, #name);
COMMIT;
START TRANSACTION;
SET #name = uuid();
INSERT INTO one(one_id,name) VALUES (Null,#name);
INSERT INTO two(two_id, name) VALUES (Null, #name);
COMMIT;
