Java run by MySQL trigger

Question

I am trying to create some MySQL code that will invoke a Java program from a trigger.

Here is what I have so far:

CREATE TRIGGER trig_name after inse         


        

Answer 1

A direct answer: no you can't call a java method from a mysql trigger. If you had an oracle database you could, but not mysql.

To do what you want to do with mysql you can

• make the code that updates the database also notify the swing application. Or you can
• make the trigger accumulate data on pending operations in a separate table that you read periodically from the swing app.
