Presentation transcript:

Triggers A trigger is a statement that is executed automatically by the system as a side effect of a modification to the database. To design a trigger mechanism, we must: Specify the conditions under which the trigger is to be executed. Specify the actions to be taken when the trigger executes. Triggers introduced to SQL standard in SQL:1999, but supported even earlier using non-standard syntax by most databases.

Triggers Trigger: procedure that starts automatically if specified changes occur to the DBMS Three parts: Event (activates the trigger) Condition (tests whether the triggers should run) Action (what happens if the trigger runs)

Trigger Example Suppose that instead of allowing negative account balances, the bank deals with overdrafts by setting the account balance to zero creating a loan in the amount of the overdraft giving this loan a loan number identical to the account number of the overdrawn account The condition for executing the trigger is an update to the account relation that results in a negative balance value.

Trigger Example in SQL:1999 create trigger overdraft-trigger after update on account referencing new row as nrow for each row when nrow.balance < 0 begin atomic insert into borrower (select customer-name, account-number from depositor where nrow.account-number = depositor.account-number); insert into loan values (n.row.account-number, nrow.branch-name, – nrow.balance); update account set balance = 0 where account.account-number = nrow.account-number end

Triggering Events and Actions in SQL Triggering event can be insert, delete or update Triggers on update can be restricted to specific attributes E.g. create trigger overdraft-trigger after update of balance on account Values of attributes before and after an update can be referenced referencing old row as : for deletes and updates referencing new row as : for inserts and updates Triggers can be activated before an event, which can serve as extra constraints. E.g. convert blanks to null. create trigger setnull-trigger before update on r referencing new row as nrow for each row when nrow.phone-number = ‘ ‘ set nrow.phone-number = null

Triggers: Example (SQL:1999) CREATE TRIGGER youngSailorUpdate AFTER INSERT ON SAILORS REFERENCING NEW TABLE NewSailors FOR EACH STATEMENT INSERT INTO YoungSailors(sid, name, age, rating) SELECT sid, name, age, rating FROM NewSailors N WHERE N.age <= 18

Statement Level Triggers Instead of executing a separate action for each affected row, a single action can be executed for all rows affected by a transaction Use for each statement instead of for each row Use referencing old table or referencing new table to refer to temporary tables (called transition tables) containing the affected rows Can be more efficient when dealing with SQL statements that update a large number of rows

External World Actions We sometimes require external world actions to be triggered on a database update E.g. re-ordering an item whose quantity in a warehouse has become small, or turning on an alarm light, Triggers cannot be used to directly implement external-world actions, BUT Triggers can be used to record actions-to-be-taken in a separate table Have an external process that repeatedly scans the table, carries out external-world actions and deletes action from table E.g. Suppose a warehouse has the following tables inventory(item, level): How much of each item is in the warehouse minlevel(item, level) : What is the minimum desired level of each item reorder(item, amount): What quantity should we re-order at a time orders(item, amount) : Orders to be placed (read by external process)

External World Actions (Cont.) create trigger reorder-trigger after update of amount on inventory referencing old row as orow, new row as nrow for each row when nrow.level < = (select level from minlevel where minlevel.item = orow.item) and orow.level > (select level begin insert into orders (select item, amount from reorder where reorder.item = orow.item) end

Triggers in MS-SQLServer Syntax create trigger overdraft-trigger on account for update as if inserted.balance < 0 begin insert into borrower (select customer-name,account-number from depositor, inserted where inserted.account-number = depositor.account-number) insert into loan values (inserted.account-number, inserted.branch-name, – inserted.balance) update account set balance = 0 from account, inserted where account.account-number = inserted.account-number end

When Not To Use Triggers Triggers were used earlier for tasks such as maintaining summary data (e.g. total salary of each department) Replicating databases by recording changes to special relations (called change or delta relations) and having a separate process that applies the changes over to a replica There are better ways of doing these now: Databases today provide built in materialized view facilities to maintain summary data Databases provide built-in support for replication Encapsulation facilities can be used instead of triggers in many cases Define methods to update fields Carry out actions as part of the update methods instead of through a trigger

DB2 Trigger Syntax CREATE TRIGGER REORDER AFTER UPDATE OF ON_HAND, MAX_STOCKED ON PARTS REFERENCING NEW AS N_ROW FOR EACH ROW WHEN (N_ROW.ON_HAND < 0.10 * N_ROW.MAX_STOCKED) BEGIN ATOMIC VALUES(ISSUE_SHIP_REQUEST(N_ROW.MAX_STOCKED - N_ROW.ON_HAND, N_ROW.PARTNO)); END CREATE TRIGGER NEW_HIRE AFTER INSERT ON EMPLOYEE UPDATE COMPANY_STATS SET NBEMP = NBEMP + 1

Oracle Trigger Syntax CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Print_salary_changes BEFORE DELETE OR INSERT OR UPDATE ON Emp_tab FOR EACH ROW WHEN (new.Empno > 0) DECLARE sal_diff number; BEGIN sal_diff := :new.sal - :old.sal; dbms_output.put('Old salary: ' || :old.sal); dbms_output.put(' New salary: ' || :new.sal); dbms_output.put_line(' Difference ' || sal_diff); END; /
