I am trying to write trigger in Mysql (5.1), but getting following error, please help.
The error is:
SQL Error (1064): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '' at line 5.
Purpose for writing trigger:
I am writing application where I am assigning users, and I want to store unassigned usercount to field cluster_count in IX_branchdetails table.After updating the base table.
trigger:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER upd_trg AFTER
UPDATE ON DBNAME.BASETABLE
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE m_branchcode INTEGER;
DECLARE cnt INTEGER;
DECLARE cursor_branch CURSOR FOR
SELECT DISTINCT branchcode
FROM ix_branchdetails;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
open cursor_branch;
my_loop: loop
set done = false;
fetch cursor_branch into m_branchcode;
if done then
leave my_loop;
end if;
select count(1) into cnt from (select count(1) from BASETABLE Where IX_BRANCHCODE = m_branchcode) as temp;
update DBANAME.ix_branchdetails set DBANAME.ix_branchdetails.cluster_count = cnt where DBANAME.ix_branchdetails.BRANCHCODE = m_branchcode;
end loop my_loop;
close cursor_branch;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
I don't see a declare for the done variable:
DECLARE done TINYINT DEFAULT FALSE;
The semicolon (;) is the default delimiter for MySQL statements. To get a procedure/function/trigger defined, we normally see the statement delimiter changed to a string that doesn't appear in the statement:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE ...
END$$
DELIMITER ;
If the delimiter is not changed from the semicolon, then when MySQL encounters the first semicolon in your procedure/function/trigger, it sees that as the end of the statement, which is not what you want. You want MySQL to see the entire block of code as a single statement.

I'm writing an script to update a db schema, the script is the following:
delimiter //
begin
set #check_exists = 0;
select count(*)
into #check_exists
from information_schema.columns
where table_schema = 'my_app'
and table_name = 'users'
and column_name = 'points';
if (#check_exists = 0) then
alter table my_app.users
add points int not null default 0
end if;
end //
delimiter
when I run it, i get the below error:
Reason:
SQL Error [1064] [42000]: (conn=34) You have an error in your SQL syntax;

I have already checked the answers the below two posts but none solves my problem.

this question where the solution was to remove the DECLARE keyword and just declare the variable as it is in the MariaDB manual here with set #var int;
I think you need to have a CREATE PROCEDURE before your BEGIN statement. So:
delimiter //
CREATE PROCEDURE UPDATE_SCHEMA()
begin
set #check_exists = 0;
(...your other script here...)
end//
delimiter ;
call UPDATE_SCHEMA();
An additional note: check_exists in your if statement needs a #
According to the BEGIN END documentation here, the syntax is:
BEGIN [NOT ATOMIC]
[statement_list]
END [end_label]
And here is what I did not know:
NOT ATOMIC is required when used outside of a stored procedure. Inside stored procedures or within an anonymous block, BEGIN alone starts a new anonymous block.
As I'm not using the BEGIN END in a stored procedure, I have to add the NOT ATOMIC after the BEGIN keyword.
So the code should look like this:
delimiter //
begin not atomic
set #check_exists = 0;
-- rest of the code here...
I need to declare the variable in MySQL. and here is what I have till now.
CREATE TRIGGER upd
BEFORE UPDATE ON chats FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE my_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM messages;
END
logically, it seams OK. but there is a strange error
i.e
SQL query:
CREATE TRIGGER upd
BEFORE UPDATE ON chats FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE my_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM messages;
MySQL said:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4
This works. Will gladly delete it when it gets dupe closed.
It merely lacks a delimiter wrapping block.
drop trigger if exists upd;
delimiter $$
CREATE TRIGGER upd
BEFORE UPDATE ON chats FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE vapenid INT;
END;
$$
delimiter ;
this is my trigger
CREATE TRIGGER `proximo_pago` BEFORE INSERT ON `pago`
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
declare num_orden integer;
select max(orden) from pago where lote=NEW.lote into num_orden;
if(num_orden is NULL)
then
set NEW.orden=1;
else
set NEW.orden=num_orden+1;
end if;
END
and the ERROR
SQL query:
CREATE TRIGGER `proximo_pago` BEFORE INSERT ON `pago`
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
declare num_orden integer;

I've tried to use DELIMITER but it isn´t works, please help me , thanks
My answer is based only on the necessity of your question which is declaration of the variable.. if the Delimiter doesn't do the trick maybe its an error in your syntax because you didn't SET your SELECT query in a variable. try this first.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE
TRIGGER `proximo_pago` BEFORE INSERT
on `pago`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE num_orden int;
SET num_orden = select max(orden) from pago where lote=NEW.lote;
if(num_orden is NULL)
then
set NEW.orden=1;
else
set NEW.orden=num_orden+1;
end if;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
I am trying to create a trigger that marks items as deleted when they are inserted into the database.
Sadly I can't get my DECLARE to stop erroring, I have looked at the DECLARE docs and also at a few examples but I must be missing something.
The query I have so far is:
CREATE TRIGGER set_deleted BEFORE INSERT ON customercontact
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE numrow INT; /* line 4 */
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO numrow
FROM orders
WHERE NEW.order_id = 1;
if numrow >= 1 THEN
SET new.deleted = 1;
END IF;
END
The error message is showing:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4
Thanks for your help and preventing me from defenestrating myself!
Try this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER set_deleted BEFORE INSERT ON customercontact
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE numrow INT; /* line 4 */
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO numrow
FROM orders
WHERE NEW.order_id = 1;
if numrow >= 1 THEN
SET new.deleted = 1;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
You need to change the delimiter when you create TRIGGER or STORED PROCEDURE.
By default, MySQL itself recognizes the semicolon as a statement delimiter, so you must redefine the delimiter temporarily to cause MySQL to pass the entire stored program definition to the server. Otherwise, MySQL breaks CREATE TRIGGER, before it reaches the END statement (on the first semicolon, which, in your case, is DECLARE statement).
You can see the documentation for more details:

Hi
Is there any error in this TRIGGER Statement.When ever i try to run this in phpAdmin its giving error saying "#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near "SELECT Count(*) into SIM_CCode_Count".I cant get what's wrong in this..please help me
This is my trigger statement
CREATE TRIGGER Is_CountryCode_There After INSERT on mr_details FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE SIM_CCode_Count INTEGER;
DECLARE NET_CCode_Count INTEGER;
SELECT Count(*) into SIM_CCode_Count FROM Country_Main where CountryCode=NEW.SimCntISO;
IF SIM_CCode_Count=0 THEN
INSERT INTO Country_Main(CountryCode,CountryName) Values(NEW.SIMCntISO,"Unknown");
END IF
If NEW.SimCntISO<>NEW.NetCntISO then
SELECT Count(*) into NET_CCode_Count FROM Country_Main
where CountryCode=NEW.NetCntISO
IF NET_CCode_Count=0 THEN
INSERT INTO Country_Main(CountryCode,CountryName) Values(NEW.NETCntISO,"Unknown");
END IF
END IF
END
Without proper explanation about your requirement and about tables and what you are expecting this trigger to do,its very difficult to say if any issues there in your trigger..
But as far as i can see there is some minor correction need to be done..
Try this Code and let know in detail your requirements..
CREATE TRIGGER Is_CountryCode_There After INSERT on mr_details FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE SIM_CCode_Count INTEGER;
DECLARE NET_CCode_Count INTEGER;
SELECT Count(*) into SIM_CCode_Count FROM Country_Main where CountryCode=NEW.SimCntISO;
IF SIM_CCode_Count=0 THEN
INSERT INTO Country_Main(CountryCode,CountryName) Values(NEW.SIMCntISO,"Unknown");
END IF;
If (NEW.SimCntISO<>NEW.NetCntISO) then
SELECT Count(*) into NET_CCode_Count FROM Country_Main
where CountryCode=NEW.NetCntISO;
IF NET_CCode_Count=0 THEN
INSERT INTO Country_Main(CountryCode,CountryName) Values(NEW.NETCntISO,"Unknown");
END IF;
End IF;
END;
You have to declare a mysql-statement delimiter before the trigger statement:
DELIMITER |
CREATE TRIGGER ...
(your code)
END|
DELIMITER ;
Otherwise MySQL interprets your ; in this statement as statement commit and executes the code immidiately. With the delimiter changed to a different character you can use the semicolon inside the trigger declaration safely.
