Mysql – Create trigger that executes maximum one time per day

Actually, if you place an if then block in every trigger, you could effectively shutdown all triggers. Here is such a code block

IF @TRIGGER_DISABLED = 0 THEN
    ...trigger body
END IF;

In the mysql environment, you could

• run SET @TRIGGER_DISABLED = 1;
• do your data maintenance
• run SET @TRIGGER_DISABLED = 0;

So your trigger for table A should look like this:

BEGIN 
    IF @TRIGGER_DISABLED = 0 THEN
    IF (OLD.status != 1 AND NEW.status = 2) THEN 
        IF (OLD.geo_lat IS NOT NULL AND OLD.geo_long IS NOT NULL) THEN 
            DELETE FROM geo WHERE datatype IN (3,4) AND foreignid = NEW.id; 
        END IF; 
    ELSEIF (OLD.Status = 1 AND NEW.Status != 2) THEN 
        IF (NEW.geo_lat IS NOT NULL AND NEW.geo_long IS NOT NULL) THEN 
            INSERT INTO geo (datatype, foreignid, long, lat, hostid, morton, status) VALUES  (IF(NEW.groupType=1,3,4), NEW.id, NEW.geo_long, NEW.geo_lat, NEW.hostid, 0, NEW.Status); 
        END IF; 
    ELSEIF (NEW.status != 3) THEN   
        IF (OLD.geo_lat IS NOT NULL AND OLD.geo_long IS NOT NULL AND (NEW.geo_lat IS NULL OR NEW.geo_long IS NULL)) THEN 
            DELETE FROM geo WHERE datatype IN (3,4) AND foreignid = NEW.id; 
        ElSEIF ((OLD.geo_lat IS NULL OR OLD.geo_long IS NULL) AND NEW.geo_lat IS NOT NULL AND NEW.geo_long IS NOT NULL) THEN 
            INSERT INTO geo (datatype, foreignid, longitude, latitude, hostid, morton, status) VALUES  (IF(NEW.groupType=1,3,4), NEW.id, NEW.geo_long, NEW.geo_lat, NEW.hostid, 0, NEW.Status); 
        ELSEIF (OLD.geo_lat!=NEW.geo_lat OR OLD.geo_long != NEW.geo_long OR OLD.status != NEW.status) THEN 
            UPDATE geo SET lat = NEW.geo_lat, long = NEW.geo_long, status = NEW.status WHERE datatype IN (3,4) AND foreignid = NEW.id; 
        END IF; 
    END IF; 
    END IF; 
END 

So your trigger for table B should look like this:

CREATE TRIGGER `usergroups_comments_insert` AFTER INSERT ON `usergroups_comment`     
    FOR EACH ROW     
    BEGIN     
        IF @TRIGGER_DISABLED = 0 THEN
            CALL sp-set-comment_count(NEW.`gid`);     
        END IF;
    END;     

If you want the triggers for table A to launch but not to table B, then add the code block only to table B's trigger.

It's not pretty, but this gets the possible enum values from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS.

DROP TRIGGER ins_addresses $$

CREATE TRIGGER ins_addresses AFTER INSERT on searcharticles
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN

DECLARE column_list char(200);
DECLARE current_value char(200);
DECLARE counter INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE num_enums INT;

  /* Format goes from "enum('shop1','shop2')" to "shop1,shop2" */

  SELECT REPLACE(SUBSTR(COLUMN_TYPE,6,LENGTH(COLUMN_TYPE)-6),'''','')
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
  WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'stackex' 
  AND TABLE_NAME = 'addresses' 
  AND COLUMN_NAME = 'shop'
  INTO column_list;

  SET num_enums = LENGTH(column_list)- LENGTH(REPLACE(column_list, ',', ''))+1;

  WHILE counter < num_enums DO
    SET current_value = (SELECT REPLACE(SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING_INDEX(column_list, ',', counter+1),
          LENGTH(SUBSTRING_INDEX(column_list, ',', counter )) + 1), ',', ''));

    INSERT INTO addresses(articleID, shop, createtime)
    VALUES (NEW.articleID, current_value, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);

    SET counter = counter + 1;  
  END WHILE;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

Test:

mysql> use stackex;
Database changed
mysql> insert into searcharticles values ( 1, 'foo','bar' );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from addresses;
+-----------+-------+------+--------+---------------------+------------+
| articleID | shop  | url  | status | createTime          | updateTime |
+-----------+-------+------+--------+---------------------+------------+
|         1 | shop1 | NULL |      0 | 2012-08-17 09:32:33 |       NULL |
|         1 | shop2 | NULL |      0 | 2012-08-17 09:32:33 |       NULL |
+-----------+-------+------+--------+---------------------+------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I actually hate myself for answering this! Change the data model to use a lookup table, shops.

It'll break horribly if the shop enum names have commas or quotation marks in them (probably).
