Did you remember to switch your SQL delimiter ? MySQL default delimter for SQL is the semicolon ( ; ) MySQL's stored procedure language also uses the semicolon to delimter statements. These two rules cannot peacefully coexist. You can get around this in three steps: 1) Change you default SQL limiter to $$ 2) Create the Stored Procedure using END $$ instead of END; 3) Change you default SQL limiter back to ; Like This: DELIMITER $$ create trigger updatepricech after insert on tbl_prices for each row BEGIN DECLARE closep INTEGER; select close into closep from temptable where Ticker = new.Ticker; update tbl_prices set PriceCh = (Close - closep) where Ticker = new.Ticker and Trade_date = new.Trade_date; END $$ DELIMITER ; Hey, give it a try !!! anniyan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all,
