I want to write a trigger when there is certain value inserted in certain column instead of whole table, for example I want my trigger to act when the value NewName is inserted in the column Names on students table.
CREATE TRIGGER newtrg
ON students
AFTER INSERT
AS BEGIN
PRINT 'Trigger fired!'
END
You have to understand how triggers work in SQL Server - they fire on a per statement level - not per row - so you cannot just check to see if the row being inserted contains NewName in the Names column - an INSERT statement could insert dozens of rows at once, and your trigger will only fire once for the whole statement.
Therefore, you cannot prevent a single row from being inserted - if your INSERT statement inserted 57 rows, and one of them contains NewName in the Names column, you can either just change that value on that particular row, or you can rollback the transaction and stop the whole INSERT process - NONE of the 57 rows will be inserted.
So what do you really want to do, in the end? If your INSERT of n rows contains a single row with a value of NewNames in the Names column - do you want to stop the whole INSERT process and rollback the transaction? In that case - use something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER newtrg
ON students
AFTER INSERT
AS
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Inserted WHERE Names = 'NewName')
-- any of of the rows being inserted contains `NewName`
-- in this case, ABORT the whole INSERT
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
Or if you want to update those rows after they've been inserted to get a new value (instead of NewNames) - try something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER newtrg
ON students
AFTER INSERT
AS
UPDATE s
SET Names = 'SomeOtherValue'
FROM dbo.Students s
INNER JOIN Inserted i ON s.StudentID = i.StudentID -- use the primary key here
WHERE i.Names = 'NewName'

I have an ORDS enabled schema which accepts bulk JSON records and splits them one by one, and inserts them one by one into UEM table.
I've tried to create a trigger which fetches the last inserted row's id and use that value to insert into another table. The problem is, the trigger below only fetches and inserts the last inserted row's id, and it only does 1 insert.
To be more specific:
ORDS gets a bulk JSON payload which consists of 4 records.
POST handler starts a Procedure which splits these 4 records by line break, and immediately inserts these to CLOB columns of UEM table as 4 separate rows by using "connect by level". There is also the ID column which is automatically created and incremented.
In the parallel I also would like to get the ID of these rows and use it in another table insert. I've created the compound trigger below, but this trigger only retrieves the ID of the last record, and inserts only one row.
Why do you think it behaves like this? In the end, the procedure "inserted" 4 records.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TEST_TRIGGER5
FOR INSERT ON UEM
COMPOUND TRIGGER
lastid NUMBER;
AFTER STATEMENT IS
BEGIN
SELECT MAX(ID) INTO lastid FROM UEM;
INSERT INTO SPRINT1 (tenantid, usersessionid, newuser, totalerrorcount, userid) VALUES ('deneme', 'testsessionid', 'yes', lastid, 'asdasfqwqwe');
END AFTER STATEMENT;
END TEST_TRIGGER5;
inserts these to CLOB columns of UEM table as 4 separate rows by using "connect by level".
You have 1 INSERT statement that is inserting 4 rows.
In the parallel I also would like to get the ID of these rows and use it in another table insert. I've created the compound trigger below, but this trigger only retrieves the ID of the last record, and inserts only one row.
Why do you think it behaves like this? In the end, the procedure "inserted" 4 records.
It may have inserted 4 ROWS but there was only 1 STATEMENT and you are using an AFTER STATEMENT trigger. If you want it to run for each row then you need to use a row-level trigger.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TEST_TRIGGER5
AFTER INSERT ON UEM
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO SPRINT1 (tenantid, usersessionid, newuser, totalerrorcount, userid)
VALUES ('deneme', 'testsessionid', 'yes', :NEW.id, 'asdasfqwqwe');
END TEST_TRIGGER5;

Why? Because it is a statement level trigger. If you wanted it to fire for each row, you'd - obviously - use a row level trigger which has the
for each row
clause.
I have the following table
Data --Table name
ID -- Identity column
PCode -- Postal Code
I created the following trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER Trig
ON Data
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
Select * from inserted
END
And inserted the following values
INSERT INTO Data VALUES (125)
INSERT INTO Data VALUES (126)
INSERT INTO Data VALUES (127)
It shows this:
But I was expecting something like this:
After the 1st insertion, the trigger is executed -> one row is shown in the inserted table.
After the 2nd insertion, the trigger is executed -> two rows are shown in the inserted table.
After the 3rd insertion, the trigger is executed -> three rows are shown in the inserted table.
According to msdn.microsoft all the rows inserted are in this table.
How can I access the inserted table so that I can see all the expected rows and not separately?
You can not. From the Use the inserted and deleted Tables article on microsoft.com, you can read:
The inserted table stores copies of the affected rows during INSERT and UPDATE statements.
That means that the inserted table will only contain rows for the current INSERT or UPDATE statement.
If you do want to see all rows for several such INSERT or UPDATE statements, you will have to store these rows in a table you created yourself.
There are 2 table available in a trigger, the inserted and the deleted. Each update on table XXX is actually a delete row X from XXX then an insert of row X in table XXX. So the inserted inside the trigger is a copy of what got inserted. You can do a lot with a trigger, but triggers are dangerous.
For example, on a performance gig, I found a huge SP being run by a trigger, we dropped it and the database came back online. Or another example, if you do a trigger wrong to audit logins, you can down the server.
As TT mentioned, if you want to see all the inserted records then you need to change your Trigger to something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER Trig
ON Data
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
Select * into "tablename"
from
(Select * from inserted) Ins
END
This is an hypothetical case..
I'm trying to find a good approach to make sure that every value inserted in an specific column col1 of my table mytable has a specific string http:// at the begining of the value.
Example:
I want to insert myprofile into mytable so (after my check condition..) the final value would be http://myprofile
I guess that a good approach could be using a trigger on insert but I didn't find anything concrete yet..
Any ideas?
Thank you.
You can try something like this as a starting point - this is for SQL Server (don't know MySQL well enough to provide that trigger code for you):
-- create the trigger, give it a meaningful name
CREATE TRIGGER PrependHttpPrefix
ON dbo.YourTableName -- it's on a specific table
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE -- it's for a specific operation, or several
AS
BEGIN
-- the newly inserted rows are stored in the "Inserted" pseudo table.
-- It has the exact same structure as your table that this trigger is
-- attached to.
-- SQL Server works in such a way that if the INSERT affected multiple
-- rows, the trigger is called *once* and "Inserted" contains those
-- multiple rows - you need to work with "Inserted" as a multi-row data set
--
-- You need to join the "Inserted" rows to your table (based on the
-- primary key for the table); for those rows newly inserted that
-- **do not** start with "http://" in "YourColumn", you need to set
-- that column value to the fixed text "http:/" plus whatever has been inserted
UPDATE tbl
SET YourColumn = 'http://' + i.YourColumn
FROM dbo.YourTableName tbl
INNER JOIN Inserted i ON tbl.PKColumn = i.PKColumn
WHERE LEFT(i.YourColumn, 7) <> 'http://'
END
This is my first time using triggers.
My trigger is not being triggered please help.
CREATE TRIGGER sbhack_autoban
ON LOG_CONNECT201211
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
/* query to run if single or multiple data is
inserted into LOG_CONNECT201211 table */
UPDATE login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN
SET login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.CHECKLOGIN = 2
WHERE login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.USER_KEY IN
(SELECT e.USER_KEY
FROM game.dbo.CHAR_DATA0 AS e
INNER JOIN gamelogs.dbo.LOG_USING_DEPOT201211 AS p
ON e.CHAR_KEY = p.CHAR_KEY
WHERE p.GATENUM = 150)
AND login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.CHECKLOGIN = 0
AND login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.USER_KEY != 51;
END
This is suppose to run the query inside the BEGIN : END if an entry is inserted into the LOG_CONNECT201211 table. But nothing is happening even when I have inserted multiple data into LOG_CONNECT201211.
When your INSERT trigger fires - then at least one new row has been inserted! That's a fact.
Now the question is: given that a single or multiple new rows have been inserted - what do you want to do with this knowledge??
Typically, you could e.g. set a column to a value you cannot specify as a default constraint - or you could insert the fact that the row has been inserted into an audit table or something....
So you'd have something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER sbhack_autoban
ON LOG_CONNECT201211
FOR INSERT
AS
INSERT INTO LogAudit(InsertedDate, UserKey)
SELECT
GETDATE(), i.User_Key
FROM
Inserted i
or something like that....
Update: ok, so you want to run that UPDATE statement when the rows have been inserted - not 100% clear, what columns/values from the inserted rows you want to use - looks like the e.UserKey column only - correct?
Then the UPDATE would be:
UPDATE login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN
SET login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.CHECKLOGIN = 2
WHERE
login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.USER_KEY IN
(SELECT USER_KEY FROM Inserted)
AND login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.CHECKLOGIN = 0
AND login.dbo.USER_CHECK_LOGIN.USER_KEY != 51;
Update #2:
The point I still don't understand is : why do you want to run an update that uses the USER_CHECK_LOGIN, CHAR_DATA0 and LOG_USING_DEPOT201211 tables, when some rows are getting inserted into a totally separate, unrelated table LOG_CONNECT201211 ??
A trigger is used when you want to do something because rows have been inserted into that table - but in that case, you typically want to do something with the rows and their values that have been inserted...
I just don't see any connection between the rows being inserted into LOG_CONNECT201211 event, and the tables you are then querying from and updating. Where's the link?? WHY do you need to run *this UPDATE when data is inserted into LOG_CONNECT201211 ?? It would make sense if data where inserted into one of the tables involved in the UPDATE - but like this, it just totally doesn't make any sense .....
I want to write a trigger in SQL Server to insert 2 rows into table2 when a row is inserted into table1. I want to use a column value from table1.
So my trigger looks like this
create trigger triggername on table1
as
begin
insert into
insert into
end
How do I get the value of any column from the last inserted row (the row insertion which fires the trigger). I.e. the equivalent of 'referencing row' in oracle
Triggers in SQL Server fire per statement not per row. There are two pseudo tables inserted and deleted that you can use (for an insert trigger the only one of interest is inserted)
CREATE TRIGGER YourTrigger ON Table1
FOR INSERT
AS
INSERT INTO Table2
SELECT * from inserted /*This will contain multiple rows if it is a multi-row insert*/
hi
i have the solution myself. i missed the alias
select #patient_no=fldL1BasCode from inserted
should be
select #patient_no=i.fldL1BasCode from inserted i
