mysql trigger error with 2 conditions - mysql

Question

I want to add an after insert trigger which will do the following.
The first IF condition works normally, but when it comes to the second everything stops.
Any ideas?
USE `Syslog`;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER `SystemEventsR_AINS` AFTER INSERT ON SystemEventsR FOR EACH ROW
IF
(exists
(select syslogtag from SystemEventsRcounter where syslogtag=
new.syslogtag)
AND
(select simpledate from SystemEventsRcounter
where syslogtag=new.syslogtag)=new.simpledate)
THEN
UPDATE SystemEventsRcounter
SET records=records+1
WHERE SystemEventsRcounter.syslogtag=new.syslogtag;
ELSE INSERT SystemEventsRcounter (simpledate, syslogtag, records) values (new.simpledate,new.syslogtag,1);
END IF

UPDATED:
What you need is INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY.
CREATE TRIGGER `SystemEventsR_AINS`
AFTER INSERT ON SystemEventsR
FOR EACH ROW
INSERT INTO SystemEventsRcounter (simpledate, syslogtag, records)
VALUES (NEW.simpledate, NEW.syslogtag, 1)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE records = records + 1;
In order for it to work you need to create a unique composite index on (simpledate, syslogtag)
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_u_simpledate_syslogtag
ON SystemEventsRcounter (simpledate, syslogtag);
Here is SQLFiddle demo.
If you wanted it your way then it might look like
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER `SystemEventsR_AINS`
AFTER INSERT ON SystemEventsR
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF (
SELECT COUNT(*) simpledate
FROM SystemEventsRcounter
WHERE syslogtag = NEW.syslogtag
AND simpledate = NEW.simpledate
) > 0 THEN
UPDATE SystemEventsRcounter
SET records = records + 1
WHERE SystemEventsRcounter.syslogtag = NEW.syslogtag;
ELSE
INSERT INTO SystemEventsRcounter (simpledate, syslogtag, records)
VALUES (NEW.simpledate, NEW.syslogtag, 1);
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
