Suppose if an error occurs during trigger execution then MySQL can handle it as follows −If a BEFORE trigger fails, the operation on the corresponding row is not performed.A BEFORE trigger is activated by the attempt to insert or modify the row, regardless of whether the attempt subsequently succeeds.An AFTER trigger is executed only if any BEFORE triggers and the row operation execute successfully.An error during either a BEFORE or AFTER trigger results in failure of the entire statement that caused trigger invocation.For transactional tables, failure of a statement should cause a rollback of all changes performed by the statement. ...
Read MoreHow BEFORE UPDATE triggers can be used to emulate CHECK CONSTRAINT\\nfor updating values in the table?

Read MoreWhat are the limitations of using MySQL views?
In spite of various benefits of using views there are following limitations on using MySQL views − Can’t create an index of views − In MySQL, we cannot create an index on views. It is because indexes are not utilized when we query data against the views. MySQL invalidates the view − Suppose, if we drop or rename tables to which a view references, rather than issuing an error MySQL invalidate the view. We can use the CHECK TABLE statement to check whether the view is valid or not. MySQL views cannot be updateable in some situations − Actually, the simple view can ...
