I must not be doing something right, I've tried all these combinations and
ALL give that same error message:
DELIMITER $$;
DROP TRIGGER `store_coord`$$
create trigger `store_coord` BEFORE INSERT on `stores`
for each row BEGIN
UPDATE stores AS s, zipcodes AS z
SET NEW.latitude = z.latitude,
NEW.longitude = z.longitude
WHERE s.zip = z.zip AND s.id = NEW.id;
END;
$$
DELIMITER $$;
DROP TRIGGER `store_coord`$$
create trigger `store_coord` BEFORE INSERT on `stores`
for each row BEGIN
UPDATE stores AS s, zipcodes AS z
SET NEW.latitude := z.latitude,
NEW.longitude := z.longitude
WHERE s.zip = z.zip AND s.id = NEW.id;
END;

DELIMITER $$;
DROP TRIGGER `store_coord`$$
create trigger `store_coord` AFTER INSERT on `stores`

What am I doing wrong?
