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 'END$$

delimiter $$
CREATE TRIGGER test.Employee_Trigger
     AFTER insert ON test.employee
     FOR EACH ROW
     BEGIN
     insert into test.employee_log values(new.id,new.first_name,
     new.last_name,new.start_date,new.end_date,
     new.city,new.description,curtime());
    END$$ 
delimiter ;

if some one could please help it would be greately appreciated.

Answer 1

trigger are not routine nor stored procedure,
so there is not need for BEGIN...END, plus the table name is case sensitive

CREATE TRIGGER Employee_Trigger
AFTER insert ON Employee
FOR EACH ROW
INSERT INTO test.Employee_log values(new.id,new.first_name,
  new.last_name,new.start_date,new.end_date,
  new.city,new.description,curtime());
