# lec10
|
||||
|
||||
This lecture has a corresponding lab excercise who's instructions can be found in `triggers-lab.pdf`.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a trigger
|
||||
|
||||
Something that executes when _some operation_ is performed
|
||||
|
||||
## Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
create trigger NAME before some_operation
|
||||
when(condition)
|
||||
begin
|
||||
do_something
|
||||
end;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To explain: First we `create trigger` followed by some trigger name.
|
||||
Then we have to denote that this trigger should fire whenever some operation happens.
|
||||
This trigger then executes everything in the `begin...end;` section _before_ the new operation happens.
|
||||
|
||||
> `after`
|
||||
|
||||
Likewise if we want to fire a trigger _after_ some operation we ccan just replace the before keyword with `after`.
|
||||
|
||||
> `new.adsf`
|
||||
|
||||
Refers to _new_ value being added to a table.
|
||||
|
||||
> `old.adsf`
|
||||
|
||||
Refers to _old_ vvalue being changed in a table.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Trigger Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to look at what triggers exist you can query the `sql_master` table.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
select * from sql_master where name='trigger';
|
||||
```
