Procedure and Trigger

Procedure

• A procedure in programming refers to a collection of


statements or tasks packaged as a self-contained unit.
Procedures are typically created to perform a specific task
and can be called and used in multiple places within a
program.
Procedure

• The main purpose of using procedures is to create a block


of code that can be reused multiple times. Instead of
duplicating the same code in different locations, you can
define a procedure and invoke it when needed. This helps
reduce code repetition, enhances modularity, and facilitates
maintenance.
Procedure

• Syntax to call a procedure

CALL procedure_name(argument1, argument2, ...);

• Example:
CALL get_employees_by_age(30);
Procedure

• Syntax to create a procedure in MySQL:


DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE procedure_name(parameter1 datatype, parameter2 datatype,
...)
BEGIN
SQL statement;
END //
DELIMIER ;
• Example:
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE get_employees_by_age(max_age INT)
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE age < max_age;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Procedure

• Syntax to drop procedure

DROP PROCEDURE procedure_name;

• Example:
DROP PROCEDURE get_employees_by_age;
Trigger

• Triggers in MySQL are used to automatically perform


actions when there is a data change in a specific table.
Triggers can be activated by events such as INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE.
Trigger

• Types of trigger
– BEFORE trigger: This trigger is activated before an INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE event occurs on a table. A BEFORE
trigger allows you to modify data or perform checks before the
actual change takes place.
– AFTER trigger: This trigger is activated after an INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE event has occurred on a table. An AFTER
trigger allows you to perform actions after the data change has
been made.
Trigger

• Syntax of Before or After Trigger:

DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name
{BEFORE | AFTER} {INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE} ON table_name
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
Statement;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Trigger

• Example of Before or After Trigger:


DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_after_insert
AFTER INSERT ON employees
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE employees SET age = 18 WHERE id = NEW.id;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Trigger

• Syntax to drop trigger:


DROP TRIGGER trigger_name;

• Example:

DROP TRIGGER trigger_after_insert;
