MySQL Triggers
Introduction
A trigger is a MySQL program, which can be
executed automatically by the Oracle server
when an event is raised. MySQL Triggers
executes before or after an insert, update or
delete statement.
MySQL Triggers are fired, when
a appropriate event occurs for the table.
MySQL Triggers are used to perform
verification checks on data values
for insertion and perform calculations.
Types of Triggers
MySQL Triggers are of 4 types:
Before Insert Trigger
Before Update Trigger
After Insert Trigger
After Update Trigger
Syntax
create trigger <trigger_name>
before insert
on <table_name> for each row
BEGIN
— variable declarations
— trigger code
END;
trigger_name => The name of the trigger to be
created.
table_name => The accurate table in the
database.
Triggers Functioning
Database table – Set of database elements.
User defined function – Which are defined by
the user.
Error log – Error that created during error
logs.
OSSES agent – Connection between specific
client and server.
Example
In the above example, before insert, trigger
will fire the condition before inserting a
record inside the table or on the table, and
update command is performed on the column
salary(Set Salary=Salary-400 where
perks>500). Then the salary of all the
employee changes as all the employee perks
are greater then the applied condition.
Types
MySQL Before update trigger will fired the
trigger before performing update records
values inside the table.
Syntax
create trigger <trigger_name>
before update

BEGIN
— variable declarations
— trigger code
END;
trigger_name => The name of the trigger to be
create.
table_name => The accurate table in the database
Example
In the above example, before update, MySQL
Triggers will fire the condition before
updating a record inside the table or on the
table, and update command is performed on

if Salary=Salary>11000 and perks>500 then
change to 10000). Then the salary of all the
employee changes, as all the employee perks
are greater then the applied condition.
Types
MySQL After Insert trigger will fire the trigger
after performing insert records values inside
the table.
Syntax
create trigger <trigger_name>
AFTER INSERT
ON <table_name> FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
— variable declarations
— trigger code
END;
trigger_name =>The name of the trigger to be
create.
table_name => The accurate table in the
database.
Example
In the above example, after insert, trigger will
fire the condition after inserting a record
inside the table or on the table i.e, after
creating student_insert table, it will fire on
the student_log1 table and all the values will
display on student_log1 table which was
inserted in student_table.
Types
MySQL After update trigger of MySQL
Triggers will fire the trigger after performing
insert records values inside the table.
Syntax
create trigger <trigger_name>
AFTER UPDATE
ON <table_name> FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
— variable declarations
— trigger code
END;
trigger_name => The name of the trigger to be create.
table_name => The accurate table in the database.
Example
In the above example, after update, trigger
will fire the condition after update a record
inside the table or on the table. i.e, after
creating student_update table it will fire on
the student_log2 table and all the values will
