Read MoreCount items in a MySQL table with type ENUM involved?
Counting ENUM items in MySQL In MySQL, ENUM is a data type where it stores the predefined and fixed values making them ideal for categories such as sizes, grades, and statuses. Knowing the frequency of each value inside ENUM columns will allow you to make data-driven decisions. Below, we'll learn how to use MySQL's GROUP BY and COUNT() functions to get the count of ENUM values. GROUP BY(): It is used for aggregating data, as it follows you to perform calculations, such as totals, and averages. ...
Read MoreHow can we create multiple MySQL triggers for the same trigger event and action time?

Such triggers are used for automating repetitive work, ensuring integrity in data, and keeping audit records without human involvement. The FOLLOWS keyword in MySQL allows the creation of several triggers for the same event and also allows you to select the order of execution. Creating Multiple Triggers for the Same Event When working with triggers, sometimes you might need to define several triggers for the same ...
