MySQL 'Update Timestamp' Column - Trigger
mysql, triggers
Solution
Okay, try this one:
DELIMITER $$ CREATE
TRIGGER `cams`.`tsu_update_csi` BEFORE UPDATE
ON `cams`.`csi`
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
SET NEW.tsu = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
END$$ DELIMITER ;
Problem
I'm adding a column `tsu` (timestamp update) of type `DATETIME` to a number of my tables. I need to write `BEFORE UPDATE` triggers that will update the column to `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()`, but I can't get it right. Tried: ``` DELIMITER $$ CREATE TRIGGER `cams`.`tsu_update_csi` BEFORE UPDATE ON `cams`.`csi` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN UPDATE csi SET tsu = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP WHERE csi_code = OLD.csi_code; END$$ DELIMITER ; ``` Can anyone point me in the right direction pls?
