Perl，DBI和MySQL分隔符

Question

I have a need to be able to issue "create trigger" over DBI. I can't seem to get the delimiter command working. Can anyone find a way to make this work?

Code:

use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbargs = {mysql_auto_reconnect => 1,
              AutoCommit           => 0,
              RaiseError           => 1,
              ShowErrorStatement   => 1}; 

my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=xdisp;host=cycldev06";
my $dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn, 'sqluser', '', $dbargs);

my $sql = qq{ 
    DELIMITER // 
        CREATE TRIGGER `hardware_last_status` BEFORE UPDATE
            ON `hardware` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
                                IF NEW.status != OLD.status AND NEW.last_status = OLD.last_status THEN
                                    SET NEW.last_status = OLD.status;
                                END IF;
                            END
            //
};

$dbh->do($sql);

Results:

DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER // 
        CREATE TRIGGER `hardware_last_status` BEFORE UPDATE
      ' at line 1 at test.pl line 24.

and that SQL works fine at the MySQL command line.

The delimiter command is used by the client program to determine the limits of the SQL statement. It is (almost certainly) not seen by the server itself. Therefore, in Perl + DBI, you should simply omit the delimiters. Thus, the command you should execute is:

my $sql = qq{ 
    CREATE TRIGGER `hardware_last_status` BEFORE UPDATE
        ON `hardware` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
                            IF NEW.status != OLD.status AND NEW.last_status = OLD.last_status THEN
                                SET NEW.last_status = OLD.status;
                            END IF;
                        END
};
