Re: Trigger for read-only column

Did you forget to declare a DELIMITER?

IF OLD... is redundant.

Your Trigger doesn't enforce read-only status: it SIGNALs a message then executes the user's update:

drop table if exists t;
create table t(id int, j int);
delimiter go
create trigger idlock before update on t for each row 
begin 
  if old.id then signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = 'cannot update locked record'; 
  end if; 
end; 
go
delimiter ;
insert into t values(null,1);
update t set id=2 where id is null;
select * from t;
+------+------+
| id   | j    |
+------+------+
|    2 |    1 |
+------+------+
