How to Store MySQL Trigger exception / failure info into Table or in Variables

Question

I am stuck at somewhere and I need some help from you.

Scenario

I have two databases i.e., test_db1 and test_db2 and have users

Answer 1

I found a hack via DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER and GET DIAGNOSTICS CONDITION, so just thought, I must share it here.

Here's my complete final script which keeps backup (sync) for both databases users table what it means is that any update on test_db1 (which we may call it as a productionDB) will occur on test_db2 (which we may call it to as stagingDB):

/*
Create two databases:
    1. `test_db1`
    2. `test_db2`
and execute below create *Table script* on both databases.
after that execute *Triggers Script* on `test_db1` only..
*/

/*
    TABLE STRUCTURE FOR `users`
*/

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `users`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
  `id` int(11) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `age` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

/*
    TABLE STRUCTURE FOR `errors`
*/

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `errors`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `errors` (
  `id` int(11) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
  `code` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `message` TEXT NOT NULL,
  `query_type` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `record_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `on_db` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `on_table` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `emailed` TINYINT DEFAULT 0,
  `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Check out the syntax for DECLARE HANDLER

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/declare-handler.html

Also, if you're trying to debug a SP, this might be helpful for you:

http://www.bluegecko.net/mysql/debugging-stored-procedures/

Upon trigger you can use something like below :

    CREATE TRIGGER `my_table_AINS` AFTER INSERT ON `my_table` FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
        RESIGNAL;
    DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLWARNING
        RESIGNAL;
    DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND
        RESIGNAL; 
    -- Do the work of the trigger.
END

Hope this may help you.

This looks like Master and Slave server/DB scenario. You can look into Binary Logging. So, any manipulation in Master server will be recorded as an event and same gets applied to slave server. Checkout MySQL official reference
