mysql after insert trigger which updates another table's column - mysql

Question

i'm trying to write a trigger, I have following tables:
BookingRequest:
+-----------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| idRequest | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| roomClass | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
| inDate | date | NO | | NULL | |
| outDate | date | NO | | NULL | |
| numOfBeds | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
| status | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| idUser | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
+-----------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
status table:
+------------+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| idStatus | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| nameStatus | enum('underConsideration','approved','rejected') | YES | | NULL | |
+------------+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
OccupiedRoom:
+--------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| idOccupation | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| idRoom | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
| idRequest | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
+--------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
i need a trigger which will change status in BookingReques to 1 if request with the same id is inserted into OccupiedRoom table, so i tried something like this
create trigger occupy_trig after insert on OccupiedRoom
for each row
begin
if BookingRequest.idRequest= NEW.idRequest
then
update BookingRequest
set status = '1';
where idRequest = NEW.idRequest;
end if;
END;
and it doesn't work, so any suggestions would be very appriciated

Answer 1

Try this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER occupy_trig
AFTER INSERT ON `OccupiedRoom` FOR EACH ROW
begin
DECLARE id_exists Boolean;
-- Check BookingRequest table
SELECT 1
INTO #id_exists
FROM BookingRequest
WHERE BookingRequest.idRequest= NEW.idRequest;
IF #id_exists = 1
THEN
UPDATE BookingRequest
SET status = '1'
WHERE idRequest = NEW.idRequest;
END IF;
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;

Answer 2

With your requirements you don't need BEGIN END and IF with unnecessary SELECT in your trigger. So you can simplify it to this
CREATE TRIGGER occupy_trig AFTER INSERT ON occupiedroom
FOR EACH ROW
UPDATE BookingRequest
SET status = 1
WHERE idRequest = NEW.idRequest;

Answer 3

Maybe remove the semi-colon after set because now the where statement doesn't belong to the update statement. Also the idRequest could be a problem, better write BookingRequest.idRequest

Answer 4

DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER contacts_after_insert
AFTER INSERT
ON contacts FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE vUser varchar(50);
-- Find username of person performing the INSERT into table
SELECT USER() INTO vUser;
-- Insert record into audit table
INSERT INTO contacts_audit
( contact_id,
deleted_date,
deleted_by)
VALUES
( NEW.contact_id,
SYSDATE(),
vUser );
END; //
DELIMITER ;
