I have such SqLite trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER update_rating AFTER UPDATE ON gameServers
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN UPDATE gameServers
SET rated_order=NEW.rating || '#' || NEW._address
WHERE rowid=NEW.rowid; END;
Help me, please, with converting it into MySQL.
CREATE TRIGGER update_rating BEFORE UPDATE ON gameServers
FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.rated_order=CONCAT(NEW.rating,' # ',NEW.address);
OF COURSE - this does nothing ON INSERT...(!)
Note that I changed it from AFTER to BEFORE (quite deliberately): Apart from the question why I should start another UPDATE after the one triggering the trigger, there is the issue Updating table in trigger after update on the same table
Your (full) "UPDATE" statement in your AFTER trigger would cause a circular trigger-calling-trigger-calling-trigger... (which mysql would prevent by refusing the statement)
EDIT: At first I wanted to use the '||' too for string concatenation, but this is MySQL and not Oracle :)
It should work, I actually tested it on one of my own tables just to be sure. This trigger stuff is fickle at times :)

I have two tables like as:
fee_master(id,cTId,feeType,amount,startDate,lastDate,fine_last_date,fine,status)
payroll(id,emId,date,loan,netSalary)
I am trying to create a trigger like as:
DELIMITER $$
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS test
DELIMITER $$;
CREATE TRIGGER test
BEFORE DELETE ON fee_master
FOR EACH ROW
UPDATE payroll SET loan=OLD.amount,netSalary=OLD.fine WHERE id=18;
DELIMITER $$;
delete from fee_master where id='18';
When I have run this trigger, the data is deleted from fee_master, but payroll is not updated, also I have tried to insert payroll but not working.Every times the data is deleted from fee_master.
If I change the update and delete query position with trigger then It is ok. Actually, It is not working on trigger operation.
What is the problem ?
Your syntax for UPDATE is incorrect. Multiple assignments are separated by ,, not AND.
UPDATE payroll SET loan=OLD.amount, netSalary=OLD.fine WHERE id=18;
May be you are new on triggering.
According to your question, I recommend you first read basics of triggering from here http://www.sitepoint.com/how-to-create-mysql-triggers/
Remind that, It is a stored process. You do not need to run the trigger every times,I hope you are confuse here. After creating a trigger, You have to run the master query then the trigger automatically run the next operation.
Your code is ok. And the code of Barmar also ok.The main problem your understanding.
Does anyone here can suggest a way to track database changes that were made through wordpress? For example I add a menu in wordpress, how can I keep track of this changes in database?
I use mysql
I tried searching and I only find toad and mysqldiff but still no luck. I also tried activating tracking for mysql but it only records changes that were made through phpmyadmin
You can create a trigger function in your mysql database. This function could copy the row before any UPDATE or INSERT statement into a separate table.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-trigger.html
BUT! Write a small IF check into your procedure so that you can disable it. Otherwise you will have a hard time when importing data through sql scripts during development.
A sample:
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS `backup`;
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER `backup`
BEFORE UPDATE
ON `sourceTable` FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF #disableTriggers <> 1 THEN
INSERT INTO `backupTable` (col1,col2,col3) VALUES (OLD.col1,OLD.col2,OLD.col3)
END IF;
END;
//
DELIMITER ;
Problem is that, I want a trigger that deletes old rows in the same table that the new rows are being inserted into.
MsSQL and oracle can do this,
but looks like mySQL can't,
It allows the trigger to be created, but when it runs it gives the error
"can't update table "tbl" in stored procedure or function/trigger
because it is already used by statemtent whicgh invoked this stored
procedure or function/trigger"
Any work around for this?
Is it planned in future releases?
I have in my database all tables with filed name GHOST, so when GHOST is TRUE this row is like DELETED. So if You want change row after insert maybe use like this:
CREATE TRIGGER my_trigg
BEFORE INSERT ON table
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SET NEW.ghost = TRUE;
END
$$
DELIMITER ;
I am trying to create a trigger that performs multiple operations in MySQL 5.5.28 with InnoDB.
I have two tables, "test" and "test_watcher": changes to the first are recorded in the watcher table with the help of triggers. The last trigger needs to perform 2 operations on DELETE, it works in MySQL Workbench (with DELIMITER) but doesn't if I create it with JDBC.
CREATE TRIGGER `AD_test_FER` AFTER DELETE
ON `test`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- if it's been inserted, modified and deleted but never synced,
-- the revision is NULL: no one needs to know about it
DELETE FROM test_watcher WHERE pk = OLD.id AND revision IS NULL;
-- if it has been synced already, we just update the flag
UPDATE test_watcher SET flag = -1 WHERE pk = OLD.id;
END;
I keep getting com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax.
I know it works with DELIMITER $$ in Workbench, but JDBC doesn't support it.
I've achieved it in PostgreSQL and would post the code if necessary.
This behavior might be caused by the connection property allowMultiQueries=true. My guess is this property will make MySQL break up queries on the ; as a query separator and then execute those as separate queries, essentially breaking your trigger creation code.
As you said in a - now deleted - answer that adding allowMultiQueries=true actually solved the problem (contrary to my expectiation), the problem might actually be the last ; in your query. So another thing to check is if the problem goes away by removing the last ; (in END;) in your script (and not using allowMultiQueries=true). Some database don't consider ; to be valid at the end of a statement (as it is actually a delimiter to separate statements).
(this answer is based on my comment above)
If JDBC does not support delimiters (DELIMITER is a client command), then execute these two statements separately - one by one.
I'm trying to create a database with history in mind (experience shows you'll have to do this one day or another).
I've asked here database-design-how-to-handle-the-archive-problem but there's no better anser than the link here.
My problem is about where to do the code and technically, how (MySQL gives me headaches). First I've started doing this in Php: before doing any insert, duplicate the record mark it as "obsolete" then modify the record.
But there's a dependency problem (manytomany and manytoone associations must be updated as well) which implies coding (one way or another) all the dependancies and updates that come with the tables (which is not acceptable).
So I'm thinking about doing all the work on the database server side. This would greatly simplify my Php code.
The problem is that I have to "archive" the current record before modifying it. To do so, the code must be in a trigger "before update".
Here's my code:
DELIMITER ;;
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS produit_trigger_update_before;
CREATE TRIGGER produit_trigger_update_before
BEFORE UPDATE ON produit
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
/* */
INSERT INTO produit SET
id_origine = OLD.id_origine,
date_v_creation = OLD.date_v_creation,
date_v_start = OLD.date_v_debut,
date_v_end = NOW(),
...
last_record = OLD.last_record;
/* Dependancies : */
SET #last=LAST_INSERT_ID();
UPDATE categorie_produit SET id_produit=#last
WHERE id_produit = OLD.id;
UPDATE produit_attribut SET id_produit=#last
WHERE id_produit = OLD.id;
END;;
DELIMITER ;;
If I get this code working, all my problems are gone. But damn it, it's not working:
mysql> update produit set importance=3;
ERROR 1442 (HY000): Can't update table 'produit' in stored function/trigger because it is already used by statement which invoked this stored function/trigger.
mysql> Bye
In this page there's a working sample, which uses INSTEAD OF UPDATE clause in the trigger. MySQL doesn't seem to support this.
So my question is both conceptual (= have you any other "principle" that could work) and/or technical (= can you make this trigger work).
If I get this code working, all my problems are gone. But damn it, it's not working:
As a rule you can't have a trigger on table A trigger inserts into table A - since that could cause an endless loop. (Trigger mutation in Oracle terms)
Personally I would not do this using triggers. Triggers can do "audit logging" - but this is not what you want here.
I suggest you solve it programatically - either with a PHP function or a MySQL stored procedure (whatever your preference) that you call something like "ModifyProduit".
The code would then do basically what you have the trigger above do. (It might be easier to just have the code set date_v_end on the current row, and then insert a completly new row. That way you don't have to mess around with updating your referenced tables)
you can do history of a table with an auxiliary table like this (i've done this for many tables on mysql and the speed is very good):
table produit_history has the same structure as produit + 2 additional columns: "history_start DATETIME NOT NULL" and "history_stop DATETIME DEFAULT NULL".
there are 3 triggers on produit table:
AFTER INSERT: in this trigger there is a simple insert into produit_history of the same data with history_start = NOW() and history_stop = NULL (NULL means the current row is valid)
AFTER UPDATE: this trigger performs two queries. The first is un update like this:
UPDATE produit_history set history_stop = NOW() WHERE id_origine = OLD.id_origine AND history_stop IS NULL;
The second query is an insert identical to the one in the AFTER INSERT trigger.
AFTER DELETE: this triggers there is a simple update which is identical to the one in the AFTER UPDATE.
You can then query this history table and obtain snapshots at whatever time you're interested in with the following where condition:
WHERE (history_start <= "interesting_time" AND (history_stop IS NULL OR history_stop > "interesting_time"))
