Question

Hey i’m trying to update a table and create an insert a row to another table.

I have this update query :

UPDATE logs_month SET status ='1'
WHERE DATE_FORMAT(month,"%m/%y") = '11/12' 

And i want it to be something like this:

UPDATE logs_month SET status ='1',
(INSERT INTO some_table (columns) values (values from the updated row))
WHERE DATE_FORMAT(month,"%m/%y") = '11/12' 

How can this be done?

I don’t want to use 2 queries because this update can accour several times a month and i want to insert only the rows currently updates to prevent duplicates without using unique indexes.

Answer 1

UPDATE logs_month SET status ='1'
WHERE DATE_FORMAT(month,"%m/%y") = '11/12';
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO some_table (columns) values (select columns
from logs_month where DATE_FORMAT(month,"%m/%y") = '11/12';

You can do with TRIGGER also,

DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER `logs_m` 
AFTER UPDATE ON `logs_month`
FOR EACH ROW 
BEGIN
    IF NEW.status=1 THEN
    INSERT INTO some_table (field) values (NEW.field);
    END IF;
END$$

DELIMITER ;

You can do like this
