Answer 1

Mysql treats ; after your query (that is the part of trigger definition) as the end of the whole statement. Thus you get syntax error.

You need to redefine delimiter before CREATE TRIGGER clause:

delimiter |

CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost`
TRIGGER `update_cached_tables_for_product_insert` AFTER INSERT ON `Product`
    FOR EACH ROW BEGIN

        INSERT INTO ProductOffercount (product_id, num_offers) VALUES (NEW.id, 0);

    END;
|

delimiter ;
