How to insert DATE in MySQL table with TRIGGERS?


Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1584
   -> (
   -> DueDate datetime
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.79 sec)

Here is the query to insert DATE in a MySQL −

mysql> create trigger insertDate before insert on DemoTable1584
   ->  for each row set new.DueDate=curdate();
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.22 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1584 values();
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.66 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1584 values();
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1584 values();
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1584;

This will produce the following output −

+---------------------+
| DueDate             |
+---------------------+
| 2019-10-18 00:00:00 |
| 2019-10-18 00:00:00 |
| 2019-10-18 00:00:00 |
+---------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
