MySQL Show Trigger
To view the list of triggers defined in a MySQL database, you can use the SHOW TRIGGERS statement or query the information_schema database. Here are two methods to view the triggers:
- Using
SHOW TRIGGERSStatement: You can use theSHOW TRIGGERSstatement to list all the triggers in the current database.
SHOW TRIGGERS;
This statement will return a result set containing information about each trigger, including the trigger name, table it’s associated with, timing (BEFORE or AFTER), event (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE), and more.
- Querying
information_schemaDatabase: You can also query theinformation_schemadatabase to retrieve information about triggers. Here’s an example query:
SELECT TRIGGER_NAME, EVENT_OBJECT_TABLE, ACTION_TIMING, EVENT_MANIPULATION
FROM information_schema.TRIGGERS
WHERE TRIGGER_SCHEMA = 'your_database_name';
Replace 'your_database_name' with the name of your database. This query retrieves information about triggers in the specified database, including the trigger name, associated table, timing, and event.
By using either of these methods, you can view the triggers defined in your MySQL database and their associated details. This information can be helpful for managing and maintaining your database triggers.
