H2 - How to create a database trigger that log a row change to another table?
Declare this trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER my_trigger
BEFORE UPDATE
ON my_table
FOR EACH ROW
CALL "com.example.MyTrigger"
Implementing the trigger with Java/JDBC:
public class MyTrigger implements Trigger {
@Override
public void init(Connection conn, String schemaName,
String triggerName, String tableName, boolean before, int type)
throws SQLException {}
@Override
public void fire(Connection conn, Object[] oldRow, Object[] newRow)
throws SQLException {
try (PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO log (field1, field2, ...) " +
"VALUES (?, ?, ...)")
) {
stmt.setObject(1, newRow[0]);
stmt.setObject(2, newRow[1]);
...
stmt.executeUpdate();
}
}
@Override
public void close() throws SQLException {}
@Override
public void remove() throws SQLException {}
}
Implementing the trigger with jOOQ:
Since you added the jOOQ tag to the question, I suspect this alternative might be relevant, too. You can of course use jOOQ inside of an H2 trigger:
@Override
public void fire(Connection conn, Object[] oldRow, Object[] newRow)
throws SQLException {
DSL.using(conn)
.insertInto(LOG, LOG.FIELD1, LOG.FIELD2, ...)
.values(LOG.FIELD1.getDataType().convert(newRow[0]),
LOG.FIELD2.getDataType().convert(newRow[1]), ...)
.execute();
}
Shorter version of Lukas Eder's answer:
CREATE TRIGGER my_trigger
BEFORE UPDATE
ON my_table
FOR EACH ROW
CALL "com.example.MyTrigger"
public class MyTrigger extends TriggerAdapter {
@Override
public void fire(Connection conn, ResultSet oldRow, ResultSet newRow) throws SQLException {
// mannipulate the rows here by using the methods on the oldRow and newRow objects
}
}
