MariaDB Error 1361: Trigger on View or Temp Table
Description
This error occurs when you attempt to create a database trigger on an object that is either a `VIEW` or a `TEMPORARY TABLE`. MariaDB, like MySQL, restricts triggers to be defined only on persistent base tables. This limitation prevents attaching event-driven logic to derived views or transient temporary tables, ensuring data integrity and predictable behavior.
Error Message
Trigger's '%s' is view or temporary table
Known Causes
3 known causesAttempting Trigger on a View
You are trying to define a trigger on a database view. MariaDB does not support triggers on views, as triggers are designed to operate on base table events.
Attempting Trigger on a Temporary Table
The target object for the trigger is a temporary table. Triggers cannot be created on temporary tables because their transient nature and limited scope conflict with the persistent definition of a trigger.
Misunderstanding Trigger Scope
There is a misunderstanding of MariaDB's trigger limitations, assuming that triggers can be applied to any table-like structure, including views and temporary tables, which is not the case.
