I have a small little thing with SQL that's been bothering me now for a while, let's say I have two tables (Customer
and Loan
). However, I want a trigger that's checking based on the Borrowertype
attribute. I suppose with the second query after AND I need something to check whether the userID
in Loans
are the same as the one in Customer
, but must be messing it up or I'm completely thinking this the wrong way.
CREATE TABLE Customer
(
userID int identity primary key,
Name varchar(20),
Borrowertype varchar(20)
);
CREATE TABLE Loan
(
Id int identity primary key,
userID int,
FOREIGN KEY (userID) REFERENCES Customer(userID)
);
IF OBJECT_ID ('Customer.maximum_books_per_user','TR') IS NOT NULL
DROP TRIGGER Customer.maximum_books_per_user;
GO
CREATE TRIGGER maximum_books_per_user ON Customer
AFTER INSERT
AS
IF (SELECT Borrowertype FROM Customer) = 'diffborrowertypehere'
AND (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inserted AS i JOIN Customer AS c
ON ??? WHERE ???
) > 5
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
RAISERROR('You have reached maximum allowed loans.', 16, 1)
END
GO

Your trigger needs to be on the Loan
table, as that's where a row would be being inserted that could be rejected. Something like this:
EDIT: rewritten to handle inserts for multiple Customers at once
CREATE TRIGGER maximum_books_per_user ON Loan
FOR INSERT
AS
-- Fail if there are any customers that will have more than the maximum number of loans
IF EXISTS (
SELECT i.userID, COUNT(*)
FROM inserted i
JOIN Loan l
ON i.userID = l.userID
GROUP BY i.userID
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 5
)
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
RAISERROR('You have reached maximum allowed loans.', 16, 1)
END
