                                          | In sql server you would generate an error/rollback the transaction to abort the update.Why do you want to delete the row with UM_master_id=1? It says that's the row being inserted (or one of them) I think.Does mysql have the concept of instead of or before triggers?Isn't that if statement a waste of time? The current row will be in the table so row_count will always be at least 1.Could be an if exists to save the count.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy.  |
