Question

I created table using this command :

CREATE TABLE projects( p_id integer primary key autoincrement, p_name text not null , p_desc text ,p_created_at datetime null , p_updated_at datetime null );

now i want to create a trigger on which the p_created_at and p_updated_at field will be updated,,,so i wrote

This is before insert query i wrote but gives me error

create trigger trigger_project before insert on projects
for each row begin
set new.p_created_at=now();
set new.p_updated_at=now();
end;

This gives me error

Error: near "set": syntax error

Any help is appreciated,, thnks

instead of now(); also tried datetime(‘now’);
but still no luck 🙁

According to the doc you can’t use just set, you need to write a statment, like

UPDATE myTable set column1 = value1
