I want a trigger to DELETE from 2 tables in MySQL

Question

I have 3 MySQL tables (food, apple, and orange).

I want to delete rows from:

apple(idapple, iduser, name) 
ora         


        

Answer 1

MySQL walkthrough of making a trigger to delete two tables with one trigger:

1. Login:

el@apollo:~$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
mysql> use your_database;
Database changed

2. Create some test tables and insert rows:

mysql> create table derp(derp1 INT);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> create table foo(foo1 INT);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> create table bar(bar1 INT);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> insert into derp values (1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> insert into foo values (1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into bar values (1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

3. Make the trigger:

mysql> delimiter //
mysql> create trigger delete_foo_and_bar_when_derp_is_deleted
    -> after delete on derp
    -> for each row
    -> begin
    -> delete from foo where foo1=OLD.derp1;
    -> delete from bar where bar1=OLD.derp1;
    -> end//
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

4. See the tables exist and all three are populated.

mysql> delimiter ;
mysql> select * from derp;
+-------+
| derp1 |
+-------+
|     1 |
+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from foo;
+------+
| foo1 |
+------+
|    1 |
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from bar;
+------+
| bar1 |
+------+
|    1 |
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

5. Delete from derp

mysql> delete from derp where derp1 = 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

6. See that derp, foo, and bar are empty now:

mysql> select * from derp;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from foo;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from bar;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
