<div><p>BEFORE triggers may not modify tables, but they can be used to
|
||
verify input column values and also to modify column values that are inserted
|
||
or updated in a table. </p>
|
||
<div class="section"><p>In the following example, the trigger is used to set the fiscal
|
||
quarter for the corporation before inserting the row into the target table.</p>
|
||
<pre><strong>CREATE TABLE</strong> TransactionTable (DateOfTransaction <strong>DATE</strong>, FiscalQuarter <strong>SMALLINT</strong>)
|
||
|
||
<strong>CREATE TRIGGER</strong> TransactionBeforeTrigger <strong>BEFORE INSERT ON</strong> TransactionTable
|
||
<strong>REFERENCING NEW AS</strong> new_row
|
||
<strong>FOR EACH ROW MODE DB2ROW</strong>
|
||
<strong>BEGIN</strong>
|
||
<strong>DECLARE</strong> newmonth <strong>SMALLINT</strong>;
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> newmonth = <strong>MONTH</strong>(new_row.DateOfTransaction);
|
||
<strong>IF</strong> newmonth < 4 <strong>THEN</strong>
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> new_row.FiscalQuarter=3;
|
||
<strong>ELSEIF</strong> newmonth < 7 <strong>THEN</strong>
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> new_row.FiscalQuarter=4;
|
||
<strong>ELSEIF</strong> newmonth < 10 <strong>THEN</strong>
|

<strong>SET</strong> new_row.FiscalQuarter=1;
|
||
<strong>ELSE</strong>
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> new_row.FiscalQuarter=2;
|
||
<strong>END IF</strong>;
|
||
<strong>END</strong></pre>
|
||
<p>For the SQL insert statement below, the "FiscalQuarter"
|
||
column is set to 2, if the current date is November 14, 2000.</p>
|

<pre><strong>INSERT INTO</strong> TransactionTable(DateOfTransaction)
|

<strong>VALUES</strong>(<strong>CURRENT DATE</strong>) </pre>
|
||
<p>SQL triggers
|
||
have access to and can use User-defined Distinct Types (UDTs) and stored procedures.
|
||
In the following example, the SQL trigger calls a stored procedure to execute
|
||
some predefined business logic, in this case, to set a column to a predefined
|
||
value for the business.</p>
|
||
<pre><strong>CREATE DISTINCT TYPE</strong> enginesize <strong>AS DECIMAL</strong>(5,2) <strong>WITH COMPARISONS</strong>
|
||
|
||
<strong>CREATE DISTINCT TYPE</strong> engineclass <strong>AS VARCHAR</strong>(25) <strong>WITH COMPARISONS</strong>
|
||
|
||
<strong>CREATE PROCEDURE</strong> SetEngineClass(<strong>IN</strong> SizeInLiters enginesize,
|
||
<strong>OUT</strong> CLASS engineclass)
|
||
<strong>LANGUAGE SQL CONTAINS SQL</strong>
|
||
<strong>BEGIN</strong>
|
||
<strong>IF</strong> SizeInLiters<2.0 <strong>THEN</strong>
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> CLASS = 'Mouse';
|
||
<strong>ELSEIF</strong> SizeInLiters<3.1 <strong>THEN</strong>
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> CLASS ='Economy Class';
|
||
<strong>ELSEIF</strong> SizeInLiters<4.0 <strong>THEN</strong>
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> CLASS ='Most Common Class';
|
||
<strong>ELSEIF</strong> SizeInLiters<4.6 <strong>THEN</strong>
|

<strong>SET</strong> CLASS = 'Getting Expensive';
|
||
<strong>ELSE</strong>
|
||
<strong>SET</strong> CLASS ='Stop Often for Fillups';
|
||
<strong>END IF</strong>;
|
||
<strong>END</strong>
|
||
|
||
<strong>CREATE TABLE</strong> EngineRatings (VariousSizes enginesize, ClassRating engineclass)
|
||
|
||
<strong>CREATE TRIGGER</strong> SetEngineClassTrigger <strong>BEFORE INSERT ON</strong> EngineRatings
|
||
<strong>REFERENCING NEW AS</strong> new_row
|
||
<strong>FOR EACH ROW MODE DB2ROW</strong>
|
||
<strong>CALL</strong> SetEngineClass(new_row.VariousSizes, new_row.ClassRating)</pre>
|
||
<p>For
|
||
the SQL insert statement below, the "ClassRating" column is set to "Economy
|
||
Class", if the "VariousSizes" column has the value of 3.0.</p>
|
||
<pre><strong>INSERT INTO</strong> EngineRatings(VariousSizes) <strong>VALUES</strong>(3.0)</pre>
|
||
<p>SQL requires all tables, user-defined functions, procedures and user-defined
|
||
types to exist before creating an SQL trigger. In the examples above, all
|
||
of the tables, stored procedures, and user-defined types are defined before
|
||
the trigger is created.</p>
