This MySQL script installs multiple triggers.
It works on one machine running MySQL 5.0.51b-community. On another machine running MySQL 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386) it fails, with this error message, which seems to be related to the DELIMITER // ... // DELIMITER; syntax :
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 272: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER; DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS trigger_name; DELIMITER' at line 1
The script syntax (summarised) is:
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS trigger_name;
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name BEFORE UPDATE ON table
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
-- Trigger logic goes here
END //
DELIMITER;
-- More trigger drop/create statements follow
What is wrong with the script, and how can I correct it?
Try
DELIMITER ;
not
DELIMITER;
You're actually specifying ; as an argument to the DELIMITER command, so not having the space there may be confusing it.
