Create employees_audit table


we create a new table named employees_audit to keep the changes of the employee records.
USE CLASSICMODELS;
CREATE TABLE employees_audit(
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
employeeNumber INT(11) NOT NULL,
lastname VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
changedon DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
action VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

2.Create an UPDATE Trigger


We create a BEFORE UPDATE trigger to be invoked before a change is made to the employees table.
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER before_employee_update
BEFORE UPDATE ON employees FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO employees_audit
SET action = update,
employeeNumber = OLD.employeeNumber,
lastname = OLD.lastName,
changedon = NOW();
END //
DELIMITER ;

UPDATE employees SET lastName = Phan WHERE employeeNumber = 1056;


SELECT * FROM employees_audit;

If you want to retrieve all triggers in a database, just executing the following SQL statement
SELECT * FROM Information_Schema.Triggers
WHERE Trigger_schema = classicmodels;

4.Dropping Triggers
You can not only to view the trigger but also remove an existing one
