My proposed trigger:
#START TRIGGER
delimiter //
DECLARE msg VARCHAR(255);
CREATE TRIGGER passStandard_check BEFORE INSERT ON Module
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.passStandard < 0 || NEW.passStandard > 1 THEN
set msg = concat('Trigger Error: Pass Standard: ', cast(NEW.passStandard as char));
signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg;
END
//
delimiter ;
#END TRIGGER
But I get the following error:
Error Code: 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 'DECLARE msg VARCHAR(255); CREATE TRIGGER passStandard_check BEFORE INSERT ON Mod' at line 1
Adding in END IF does not make any difference.
passStandard is set to an INT NOT NULL.
Edit
I've moved the DECLARE statement after the BEGIN:
#START TRIGGER
delimiter //
CREATE TRIGGER passStandard_check BEFORE INSERT ON Module
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE msg VARCHAR(255);
IF NEW.passStandard < 0 || NEW.passStandard > 1 THEN
set msg = concat('Trigger Error: Pass Standard: ', cast(NEW.passStandard as char));
signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg;
END IF;
END
//
delimiter ;
#END TRIGGER
But I still get this error:
Error Code: 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 'sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg; END IF; END' at line 7
You need to declare your variable "msg" inside your procedure and use END IF
#START TRIGGER
delimiter //
CREATE TRIGGER passStandard_check BEFORE INSERT ON Module
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE msg VARCHAR(255); /* << PUT THIS HERE */
IF NEW.passStandard < 0 || NEW.passStandard > 1 THEN
set msg = concat('Trigger Error: Pass Standard: ', cast(NEW.passStandard as char));
signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg;
END IF; /* << YOU WILL NEED THIS TOO (DONT FORGET THE SEMICOLON :D) */
END//
delimiter ;
#END TRIGGER
I noticed that I was getting MySQL warnings when adding triggers with IF/ELSE logic in them if I wasn't adding parentheses to the IF statements. Not sure why, but I added the brackets and the warnings went away. Try something like:
IF ((NEW.passStandard < 0) || (NEW.passStandard > 1)) THEN
set msg = concat('Trigger Error: Pass Standard: ', cast(NEW.passStandard as char));
signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg;
END IF;
Try breaking it up to several queries. Or run it in phpmyadmin which handles semi colon separated multi queries.
Might be this:
DECLARE is permitted only inside a BEGIN ... END compound statement and must be at its start, before any other statements.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/declare.html
i got it working. pls find below the working code.
delimiter //
CREATE TRIGGER test_check1 BEFORE INSERT ON employee
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE msg VARCHAR(255);
IF (NEW.sync_id = '0') THEN
SET NEW.name = 'Collect Money';
signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg;
END IF;
END//
delimiter ;

I'm trying to create a SQL Trigger, but i receive always an error message, i want to check on update and insert operation if value called status is not higher than 1 and not lower than 0.
CREATE TRIGGER tr_ins_cert_login
BEFORE UPDATE ON cert_login
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE errorMessage VARCHAR(255);
SET errorMessage('Invalid Status Value.');
IF new.status <> 0 AND new.status <> 1 THEN
SET MESSAGE_TEXT = errorMessage;
END IF;
END
When i try to run the commands it returns error.
I'm using MySql.
The 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
Any hint?
Message_text should be part of signal sqlstate following syntaxes on my box
drop trigger if exists t;
delimiter $$
CREATE TRIGGER t
BEFORE UPDATE ON cert_login
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE errorMessage VARCHAR(255);
SET errorMessage = ('Invalid Status Value.');
IF new.status <> 0 AND new.status <> 1 THEN
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '01000'
SET MESSAGE_TEXT = errorMessage;
END IF;
END $$
delimiter ;

ps your first set statement is invalid you missed the =
I am trying to put a constraint on a database where if generic_asset.type = 'raw' then generic_asset.atomic = 1 must be maintained. For this I wrote the following trigger of type BEFORE INSERT. Here is the snippet:
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER generic_asset_check BEFORE INSERT ON generic_asset FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.type = 'raw' THEN
BEGIN
IF NEW.atomic = 0 THEN
SET SQLSTATE = 'Sorry cannot insert';
END IF;
END IF;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Error is like:
#1064 - syntax error near 'SQLSTATE = 'Sorry cannot insert';
END IF;
END IF;
END' in line 6
(translated from French).
I tried various syntax but all seam not to work and also knowing that my changes are so little like changing double quotes, removing BEGIN with END IF;... So I know these turns are irreverent.
I revised syntax in many internet resources and official documentation, nothing helped.
MySQL's IF statement does not take a BEGIN keyword. Also, if you want to raise an error from within the trigger, you need SIGNAL. Finally, these two nested conditions can be flattened.
Consider:
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER generic_asset_check BEFORE INSERT ON generic_asset FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.type = 'raw' AND NEW.atomic = 0 THEN
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '45000' SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Sorry cannot insert';
END IF;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Demo on DB Fiddle
When running this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER tr_test BEFORE UPDATE ON test
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '45000';
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '23000';
IF(older_record(NEW.last_action_timestamp, OLD.last_action_timestamp)) THEN
SET #rowhash = (SELECT MD5(NEW));
INSERT INTO test_db.test_table SELECT NEW.*, #rowhash;
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '45000' SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'old record';
END IF
END
$$
DELIMITER ;
I get the following Error Message :
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your >MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ';
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '23000';
IF(older_record(NEW.l' at line 4
A DECLARE statement must be followed by a "statement" -- see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/declare-handler.html
Perhaps all you want is
BEGIN END;
Apparently an "empty statement" is not allowed?
I am trying to figure out how to throw an error with formatted error message in MySQL (5.7).
// SOME PROCEDURE
begin
declare something INT;
start transaction;
call getsomething(something); // sets something to data
if something is NULL then
rollback;
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '45000'
SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Something %d not found!', MYSQL_ERRNO = 1001;
end if;
commit;
end
How can I use "something" variable when creating error message?
// SOME PROCEDURE
begin
declare something INT;
declare error_msg VARCHAR(255);
start transaction;
call getsomething(something); // sets something to data
if something is NULL then
rollback;
set error_msg = CONCAT('Something not found!', something);
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '45000'
SET MESSAGE_TEXT = error_msg, MYSQL_ERRNO = 1001;
end if;
commit;
end
Following #Samis comment and retrying using CONCAT - above works.
What about CONCAT() and local variable to store the message?
SET MESSAGE_TEXT = CONCAT(something, 'not found!');
working example
I am trying this trigger but it keeps giving me this error:
Trigger
DELIMITER $$
CREATE
TRIGGER entries_limit_trigger
BEFORE INSERT ON Feed
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
Set #counts=(SELECT count(*) from Feed);
IF (#counts > 10000)
THEN
PRINT 'INSERTED SUCCESS';
END IF;
END
$$
DELIMITER ;
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 ''INSERTED SUCCESS'; END IF; END' at line 9
If you want the trigger to exit with a message you can do:
CREATE
TRIGGER entries_limit_trigger
BEFORE INSERT ON Feed
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
Set #counts=(SELECT count(*) from Feed);
IF #counts > 10000 THEN
set #msg = "Reached the limit";
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '45000' SET MESSAGE_TEXT = #msg;
END IF;
END;

To make it exit with a message, just add another insert to the fiddle.
