How to change a table (create/alter) so that the calculated “Average score” field is shown when querying the entire table without using MySQL INSERT, UPDATE?

Following is the syntax −

alter table yourTableName add column yourColumnName yourDataType
generated always as ((yourColumName1+yourColumName2+....N) / N) virtual;

Let us create a table −

mysql> create table demo32
−> (
−> value1 int,
−> value2 int
−> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.42 sec)

Insert some records into the table with the help of insert command −

mysql> insert into demo32 values(30,60);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

mysql> insert into demo32 values(20,40);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

mysql> insert into demo32 values(35,35);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)

Display records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from demo32;

This will produce the following output −

+--------+--------+
| value1 | value2 |
+--------+--------+
|     30 |     60 |
|     20 |     40 |
|     35 |     35 |
+--------+--------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to a table (create/alter) so that the calculated “Average score” field is shown when querying the entire table without using INSERT, UPDATE −

mysql> alter table demo32 add column `Average Score` float
−> generated always as ((value1+value2) / 2) virtual;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.57 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

Display records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from demo32;

This will produce the following output −

+--------+--------+---------------+
| value1 | value2 | Average Score |
+--------+--------+---------------+
|     30 |     60 |            45 |
|     20 |     40 |            30 |
|     35 |     35 |            35 |
+--------+--------+---------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
