I want to add 1000 unique random values to the column AgentID to the table agents.
I have used Upsert to ignore the duplicate values. What I have done so far:
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS Generate_random;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE Generate_random()
BEGIN
Drop table if exists ai_training.`Agents`;
CREATE TABLE ai_training.`Agents`(AgentID int PRIMARY KEY);
SET #first = 1;
SET #last = 1000;
WHILE(#first <= #last) Do
INSERT INTO ai_training.`Agents` VALUES(
FLOOR(RAND()*(2900000-2800000+1)+2800000)
)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE AgentID = FLOOR(RAND()*(2900000-2800000+1)+2800000);
SET #first = #first + 1;
END WHILE;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
CALL Generate_random();
Select * from ai_training.`Agents`;
The problem is I need 1000 unique agentid's and this code is generating 1000 - the repeated ones. So, if it finds 6 repeated ids it returns 994 rows and not 1000.
Is there any way I can achieve this?
Can't change the random ID generation part.
You could use information function ROW_COUNT() to check whether a row was actually inserted or not, and increment the counter accordingly.
The documentation states:
With ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, the affected-rows value per row is 1 if the row is inserted as a new row, 2 if an existing row is updated, and 0 if an existing row is set to its current values.
So:
WHILE(#first <= #last) DO
INSERT INTO ai_training.`Agents`
VALUES(FLOOR(RAND()*(2900000-2800000+1)+2800000))
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE AgentID = AgentID;
IF ROW_COUNT() = 1 THEN
SET #first = #first + 1;
END IF;
END WHILE;
Note that I changed the action on duplicate key to a dummy update rather than re-assigning a new random value; this makes things a little less expensive when a collision happens.
CREATE PROCEDURE Generate_random()
BEGIN
Drop table if exists ai_training.`Agents`;
CREATE TABLE ai_training.`Agents`(AgentID int PRIMARY KEY);
SET #last = 1000;
WHILE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ai_training.`Agents`) < #last DO
INSERT IGNORE INTO ai_training.`Agents`
VALUES
(FLOOR(RAND()*(2900000-2800000+1)+2800000));
END WHILE;
END
I tried to create below Trigger but I have an Error.
Can I Use Update or use 'case when' in trigger?
Please help me to fix my issue here.
Code Explanation:
I want to update my existing row after insert or update.
Do not change the 'FUSDate1' or 'FUSDate2' If I didn't add anything to the 'FUSDate1' or 'FUSDate2'
Update the FUSDate to the New One or Inserted one If I Updated or inserted data to FUSDate
Code:
delimiter //
create trigger SafetyCertificationTRG
after insert on SafetyCertification
for each row
begin
case when (FUSDate1='' or FUZDate1 is NULL) then (FUZDate1=OLD.FUSDate1) else (update SafetyCertification set FUZDate1=NEW.FUSDate1) end;
case when (FUSDate2='' or FUZDate2 is NULL) then (FUZDate2=NEW.FUSDate2) else (update SafetyCertification set FUZDate2=NEW.FUSDate2) end;
end //
delimiter ;
Edit: I am going to add some information here to make the question more clear.
I have one column as FUS that can be get these 3 values only:('FUS1', 'FUS2' and 'FUS3')
I have 3 other columns: FUSDate1, FUSDate2, FUSDate3.
I want to save the Current Date to The FUSDate1 Or FUSDate2 Or FUSDate3 based on the user User Selection of FUS. (They are in same Table)
I used the provided answer and change it to this but I cannot do the above.
Code: This code is just for FUS1 and FUSDate1
delimiter //
CREATE TRIGGER SafetyCertification_bu
BEFORE UPDATE ON SafetyCertification
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- detect a change made to a value in col
IF OLD.FUS <=> NEW.FUS THEN
-- value of col is not changed, so do nothing
DO 0;
ELSE
-- we detected a new value was assigned to col
IF OLD.FUS ='%FUS1%' THEN
-- we can override the new value, keep it the same
SET NEW.FUSDate1 = CURDATE();
END IF;
END IF;
END //
delimiter ;
Another code that I expected to do my work but still have problem, Does not update Like above Code:
delimiter //
CREATE TRIGGER SafetyCertification_bu
BEFORE INSERT ON SafetyCertification
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.FUS='%FUS1%' THEN
SET new.FUSDate1=MD5(CURDATE());
END IF;
END //
delimiter ;
Update 3:
The Third code that provided in answer does not add anything to the FUSdate1 and 2 and 3 when i update or insert any data.
Code
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER SafetyCertification_bu
BEFORE UPDATE ON SafetyCertification
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- set one of the `fusdateN` columns to current date
-- which column to set depends on the value assigned to `fus`
IF NEW.fus = 'FUS1' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate1 = DATE(NOW());
ELSEIF NEW.fus = 'FUS2' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate2 = DATE(NOW());
ELSEIF NEW.fus = 'FUS3' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate3 = DATE(NOW());
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
A couple of notes:
A trigger cannot issue an UPDATE against the table that fired the trigger, this is prohibited.
The unqualified references (e.g. FUSDate1 and FUZDate1) are not valid. Those references don't resolve to anything.
The reference to OLD.FUSDate1 is invalid in the context of an AFTER INSERT trigger. In an UPDATE trigger, the OLD.col refers to the value of col before the update.
The expression (FUZDate1=OLD.FUSDate1) is not an assignment, it's a comparison that's going to return 0, 1 or NULL.
If we want to trigger on an UPDATE and an INSERT, that will require two separate triggers.
If we want to modify the contents of the current row, we can use BEFORE trigger instead of AFTER.
I want to update my existing row after insert or update.
It would be much easier to apply changes before the row is inserted or updated. We can assign a value to a column col by referencing NEW.col in an assignment in a BEFORE INSERT or BEFORE UPDATE trigger. For example:
SET NEW.col = expr;
Do not change the FUSDate1 or FUSDate2 If I didn't add anything to the FUSDate1 or FUSDate2
This seems pretty straightforward. Just don't make any assignments to NEW.FUSDate1 or NEW.FUSDate2.
Update the FUSDate to the New One or Inserted one If I Updated or inserted data to FUSDate
The example proposed trigger contains references to FUZDate1 or FUZDate2, but there's no mention of these columns in the specification. The specification is confusing.
An UPDATE statement will assign a value to a column, no need for a trigger to do that. An INSERT statement can assign a value to a column, again, no need for a trigger for that.
The specification is not clear. Providing example starting state (rows in the table), and example INSERT or UPDATE statements, and the desired state after the statement is executed would go a long ways towards clarifying the requirements.
A demonstration of a BEFORE UPDATE trigger that prevents a new value being assigned to a particular column:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER SafetyCertification_bu
BEFORE UPDATE ON SafetyCertification
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- detect a change made to a value in col
IF OLD.col <=> NEW.col THEN
-- value of col is not changed, so do nothing
DO 0;
ELSE
-- we detected a new value was assigned to col
IF OLD.col IS NOT NULL THEN
-- we can override the new value, keep it the same
SET NEW.col = OLD.col;
END IF;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
For what this example trigger achieves, we don't necessarily need that many IF conditions; those are included as a demonstrate some of the checks we can perform, how we can make references to the existing value of col and the new value assigned to col.
FOLLOWUP
Based on the update information in the question, here's an example of a BEFORE UPDATE trigger that satisfies the specification.
This is for the UPDATE action. To get this same behavior with an INSERT statement, this trigger definition needs to be repeated, with BEFORE INSERT in place of BEFORE UPDATE.
(I would use the name _bu for the before update trigger, and _bi for before insert trigger.)
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER SafetyCertification_bu
BEFORE UPDATE ON SafetyCertification
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- set one of the `fusdateN` columns to current date
-- which column to set depends on the value assigned to `fus`
IF NEW.fus = 'FUS1' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate1 = DATE(NOW());
ELSEIF NEW.fus = 'FUS2' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate2 = DATE(NOW());
ELSEIF NEW.fus = 'FUS3' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate3 = DATE(NOW());
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
second followup
To answer the question about using CASE WHEN statement in the context of a MySQL stored program...
We could implement the example trigger (directly above in this answer) replacing the IF-THEM with either of the two forms of the CASE statement.
either
CASE
WHEN NEW.fus = 'FUS1' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate1 = DATE(NOW());
WHEN NEW.fus = 'FUS2' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate2 = DATE(NOW());
WHEN NEW.fus = 'FUS3' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate3 = DATE(NOW());
END CASE;
-or-
CASE NEW.fus
WHEN 'FUS1' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate1 = DATE(NOW());
WHEN 'FUS2' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate2 = DATE(NOW());
WHEN 'FUS3' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate3 = DATE(NOW());
END CASE;
note
The CASE statement is available in MySQL stored programs; outside of a stored program, it is not a valid SQL statement.
Also, we should not confuse this CASE statement with the CASE expression. The CASE expression is valid in the context of a SQL statement, such as a SELECT or UPDATE statement.
DEMONSTRATION
"I examined the Trigger, But unfortunately does not save anything in fusDates."
#Christiano: here is a simple demonstration
create table
CREATE TABLE `safety_certification`
( id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
, fus VARCHAR(5)
, fusdate1 DATE
, fusdate2 DATE
, fusdate3 DATE
) ENGINE=INNODB
;
populate table with demonstration rows
INSERT INTO `safety_certification` (id, fus, fusdate1, fusdate2, fusdate3) VALUES
( 1, '', NULL, NULL, NULL)
,( 2, '', NULL, NULL, NULL)
,( 3, '', NULL, NULL, NULL)
,( 4, '', NULL, NULL, NULL)
,( 5, '', NULL, NULL, NULL)
;
create trigger
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER `safety_certification_bu`
BEFORE UPDATE ON `safety_certification`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- set one of the `fusdateN` columns to current date
-- which column to set depends on the value assigned to `fus`
IF NEW.fus = 'FUS1' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate1 = DATE(NOW());
ELSEIF NEW.fus = 'FUS2' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate2 = DATE(NOW());
ELSEIF NEW.fus = 'FUS3' THEN
SET NEW.fusdate3 = DATE(NOW());
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
updates will exercise BEFORE UPDATE trigger we just defined
UPDATE `safety_certification` sc SET sc.fus = 'FUS1' WHERE sc.id = 1 ;
UPDATE `safety_certification` sc SET sc.fus = 'FUS2' WHERE sc.id = 2 ;
UPDATE `safety_certification` sc SET sc.fus = 'FUS3' WHERE sc.id = 3 ;
UPDATE `safety_certification` sc SET sc.fus = 'FUS4' WHERE sc.id = 4 ;
display contents of table
SELECT * FROM `safety_certification`;
returns:
id fus fusdate1 fusdate2 fusdate3
------ ------ ---------- ---------- ------------
1 FUS1 2018-05-04 (NULL) (NULL)
2 FUS2 (NULL) 2018-05-04 (NULL)
3 FUS3 (NULL) (NULL) 2018-05-04
4 FUS4 (NULL) (NULL) (NULL)
5 (NULL) (NULL) (NULL)
seems like the trigger is populating the columns fusdate1, fusdate2 and fusdate3 per the specification, when some particular values are assigned to fus
I had a same problem and I used two trigger,
First trigger send data to the other table, so now you can create another trigger to send this data to the first table. I think it is low performance but it is the only way that I reached to it. I hope others have another solution for u.
What I am trying is to set a new value depending on the value from another table. This is a BEFORE UPDATE trigger. I need to set a new.amount in "webs" table depending on the value of percent column from table "webTransactions". If percent = 30.00 then new amount must change from whatever to 0.00. What I tried so far but is giving me error:
if new.type=9 and new.referenceId=0 then set new.amount=0.00 where (SELECT * FROM webs s JOIN webTransactions r ON r.webId = s.id WHERE s.percent = 30.00);
Anyone can help to make this trigger run?
Thank you
you can try something like this
UPDATE websTransactions
SET amount= CASE
WHEN type=9 AND referenceId=0 THEN 0.00
ELSE amount
END
WHERE key IN
(SELECT key FROM webs s JOIN webTransactions r ON r.webId = s.id
WHERE s.percent = 30.00)
replace key with the primary key of websTransactions
You might want to to use some more efficient code, triggers are a sort of stored routines so program them that way. Also, it's not neccesary to join the table you're updating in a subquery.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER amount_check BEFORE UPDATE ON webs
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.type=9 and NEW.referenceId=0 THEN
SET #percent := (SELECT percent
FROM webTransactions
WHERE webId = OLD.id);
IF #percent = 33.00 THEN
NEW.amount = 0
END IF;
END IF;
END$$

I have the following trigger:
CREATE DEFINER = CURRENT_USER
TRIGGER `radia`.`orderstable_AFTER_UPDATE`
UPDATE ON `orderstable`
FOR EACH ROW begin
SET #VATCharged = Amount * (VAT*0.01);
But the VATCharged column does not update after there is a change to the amount or VAT.
The table has the following columns; Order Number(INT), AccNo(VARCHAR), Invoice Number(VARCHAR), Description(VARCHAR), Amount(INT), VAT(INT) and VATCharged(INT).
What is the solution to this problem?
You need to specify old or new against the column to get either old value before update or new value after update
set #VATCharged := new.Amount * (new.VAT*0.01);
EDIT :
If you want to update the VATCharged column in the table, then the trigger needs to be before update something as
delimiter //
create trigger `radia`.`orderstable_AFTER_UPDATE`
before update on `orderstable`
for each row
begin
set new.VATCharged = new.Amount * (new.VAT*0.01);
end ; //
delimiter ;
I have a Trigger on UPDATE.
What is the correct procedure for referencing attribute from the table that is not updated by the UPDATE SQL command? Is the attribute still in the UPDATE variable? I would like to get the value of that attribute for the updated row.
You can access a values of a column before update and after update in MySQL by using keywords OLD and NEW.
For example if you want to determine whether a value of a column actually has been changed during updated you can do
IF NOT OLD.column_name <=> NEW.column_name THEN
-- do something here
END IF;
Note: <=> is NULL-safe comparison operator in MySQL
BTW: There is no UPDATED virtual table in MySQL. It's from SQL Server.
Here is a SQLFiddle demo. Note that even though update affected all records in the table, only one message has been logged in log table. It's because value for a row with id 2 in the end stayed the same.
UPDATE: to keep your finished flag in sync you need triggers for all events (insert, update, delete).
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER tg_ai_event
AFTER INSERT ON event
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE activity a
SET status = (EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM event
WHERE activity = a.activity_id
AND done = 0))
WHERE activity_id = NEW.activity;
END//
CREATE TRIGGER tg_ad_event
AFTER DELETE ON event
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE activity a
SET status = (EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM event
WHERE activity = a.activity_id
AND done = 0))
WHERE activity_id = OLD.activity;
END//
CREATE TRIGGER tg_au_event
AFTER UPDATE ON event
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NOT OLD.activity <=> NEW.activity THEN
-- if activity id was changed for an event then clculate finished flag
-- for both old and new activity id
UPDATE activity a
SET status = (EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM event
WHERE activity = a.activity_id
AND done = 0))
WHERE activity_id IN(OLD.activity, NEW.activity);
ELSE
-- otherwise calculate finished flag only if done flag is changed
IF NOT OLD.done <=> NEW.done THEN
UPDATE activity a
SET status = (EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM event
WHERE activity = a.activity_id
AND done = 0))
WHERE activity_id = NEW.activity;
END IF;
END IF;
END//
