Hello list, I'm trying to run a trigger on the following table
T_PHARMACOECONOMICS id serial(10)... ... visit_date date oneyear_date date fiveyear_date date ... I need the values of oneyear_date and fiveyear_date be automatically generated from the visit_date column. I wrote a trigger for insert which works fine (generates properly the required columns), but the following trigger for updates doesn´t (the values are not updated) create trigger phec_trigup for WEBCTRL.T_PHARMACOECONOMICS after update execute ( try update WEBCTRL.T_PHARMACOECONOMICS set oneyear_date = MAKEDATE(YEAR(visit_date)-1,DAYOFYEAR(visit_date)), fiveyear_date = MAKEDATE(YEAR(visit_date)-5,DAYOFYEAR(visit_date)) where visit_date =:NEW.visit_date; catch if $rc <> 100 then stop ($rc, 'unexpected error in trigger phec_trigup'); ) I am running MaxDB 7.5.00.23 Sparc 64bit on SunOS 5,9 Thanks, for the help David -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
