Did you remember to switch your SQL delimiter ?

MySQL default delimter for SQL is the semicolon ( ; )
MySQL's stored procedure language also uses the semicolon to delimter statements.

These two rules cannot peacefully coexist.
You can get around this in three steps:

1) Change you default SQL limiter to $$
2) Create the Stored Procedure using END $$ instead of END;
3) Change you default SQL limiter back to ;

Like This:

DELIMITER $$
create trigger updatepricech
after insert on tbl_prices for each row
BEGIN
DECLARE closep INTEGER;
select close into closep from temptable where Ticker = new.Ticker;
update tbl_prices set PriceCh = (Close - closep) where Ticker = new.Ticker
and Trade_date = new.Trade_date;
END $$
DELIMITER ;

Hey, give it a try !!!

Hi all,

When I am trying to create a trigger I get an error message which I am
unable to comprehend.

create trigger updatepricech
after insert on tbl_prices for each row
BEGIN
DECLARE closep INTEGER;


select close into closep from temptable where Ticker = new.Ticker;
update tbl_prices set PriceCh = (Close - closep) where Ticker = new.Ticker
and Trade_date = new.Trade_date;
end;


I get the error :

#1064 - 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 ''
at line 4

Here line 4 is the declaration part.

Can you please let me know what could be wrong in this query?
