In MySQL I tried to define a trigger like this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER vipInvite
AFTER INSERT ON meetings
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF(NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM participants
WHERE meetid = NEW.meetid AND pid ='vip'))
THEN
IF(EXISTS(SELECT * FROM meetings WHERE meetid = NEW.meetid AND slot > 16))
THEN
INSERT INTO participants(meetid, pid)
VALUES (NEW.meetid,(SELECT userid
FROM people WHERE people.group = 'tap' GROUP BY invite));
END IF;
END IF;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
Produces this error:
This version of MySQL doesn't yet support 'multiple triggers with the same action time and event for one table.
Is there a way to work around this so I can define multiple triggers?
This error means you already have an AFTER INSERT
trigger on meetings
table.
If it is the same trigger (meaning vipInvite
) that you created earlier and now you want to replace it then you need to drop it first
DROP TRIGGER vipInvite;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER vipInvite
...
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Now if you have some other trigger you have to merge code from both triggers into one, then drop existing trigger, and then create a new one.
To show the list of existing triggers use SHOW TRIGGERS
.
SHOW TRIGGERS WHERE `table` = 'meetings';
How to reproduce this error in MySQL:
ERROR 1235 (42000): This version of MySQL doesn't yet support 'multiple
triggers with the same action time and event for one table'
Run the following queries:
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER mytrigger1 AFTER INSERT ON mytable
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
END//
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER mytrigger2 AFTER INSERT ON mytable
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
END//
If you want to hook more than one action onto the same event/table, you will have to cram all of it into one trigger. You could call many stored procedures like this:
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER mytrigger1 AFTER INSERT ON mytable
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
CALL fromulate_the_moobars(NEW.myid);
CALL its_peanut_butter_jelly_time(NEW.myname);
END//
