Somebody asked why you can’t implement MySQL triggers that write information when you want to stop the DML statement, like autonomous procedures in Oracle. The question was a surprise but I didn’t find anything on it, so here’s how you can do it. This is more or less like an autonomous process by leveraging both the InnoDB and MyISAM engine’s behaviors. This post leverages an earlier explanation of MySQL Triggers.
- First you create a MyISAM table, which is a persistent store
that auto commits when you’re other InnoDB tables can be
transactionally dependent. Here’s a simple MyISAM
loggertable.
CREATE TABLE logger ( logger_id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY , logger_event VARCHAR(50) , logger_table VARCHAR(50) , logger_instring VARCHAR(100) , … |
