创建触发器时SQL语法错误

Question

This error appear when I create the trigger

CREATE TRIGGER addperson after insert on person
for each row 
begin 
if(new.persontype='donor') then
  insert into donor('personid','donor-id')values(new.personid,new.personid);
  else 
  insert into enterpreneur('personid','enter-id') values(new.personid,new.personid);
 end;**

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''donor' ('personid','donor-id')values(new.personid,new.personid)' at line 5

Answer 1

You should not to quote your tablenames and fieldnames with apostroph
Use ` character.

delimiter //
CREATE TRIGGER addperson AFTER INSERT ON person
FOR EACH ROW 
begin 
  IF NEW.persontype = 'donor' THEN
    insert into `donor`(`personid`,`donor-id`)values(new.personid,new.personid);
  ELSE
    insert into `enterpreneur`(`personid`,`enter-id`) values(new.personid,new.personid);
  END IF;
END;//
delimiter ;

My SQLFiddle not worked... :(

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
