MySQL disable all triggers

Question

For test correctness of query I need disable all triggers in db. I see that in information_schema exists table TRIGGERS. Is possible temporarily disable all triggers using this table? E.g. like:

update TRIGGERS set TRIGGERS_SCHEMA='myschema_new'  where TRIGGERS_SCHEMA='myschema' 

and after finish all test return all triggers like:

update TRIGGERS set TRIGGERS_SCHEMA='myschema' where TRIGGERS_SCHEMA='myschema_new' 

May be this can corrupt db or after triggers will not works? I didn't found about it in documentation.

You can't disable triggers directly and I wouldn't recommend doing what you're suggesting but you could have your trigger check if a variable (in my example below @disable_triggers) is NULL before executing the trigger's content. For example:

Query:

SET @disable_triggers = 1; // Your update statement goes here. SET @disable_triggers = NULL; 

Triggers:

IF @disable_triggers IS NULL THEN     // Do something use as the trigger isn't disabled. END IF;
