Trigger that calculates and updates age

I want to create a Rigger that when firing calculates the customer’s age on each table row and updates itself.

I tried it this way:

create trigger Atualiza_Idade
on cliente
for insert,update,delete
as 

declare
@i int,
@dtnasc  datetime ,
@Idade int,
@Hoje DATETIME,
@Condicao int
Set @i=1
Set @Hoje=(SELECT GETDATE ( ))

while (@i<(select COUNT( *) from Cliente ))
begin
select @dtnasc=DataNasimento,@Idade=Idade from Cliente where id=@i;


set @Condicao = (SELECT FLOOR(DATEDIFF(DAY, @dtnasc, @Hoje) / 365.25));
if (@Condicao<>(select idade from Cliente where id=@i))
update Cliente set Idade=@Condicao where id=@i;

set @i=@i+1;

end
go

Didn’t work.

What error or behaviour is shown?

You’re not telling me where to update. Ta missing clause where in the update, nay?

@Anderson Try to run the script without being on trigger and confirm that it is working. It may not be entering the if of update.

@Jota I did this... I really don’t think it’s entering if. Because SQLSERVER returns:"Command(s) completed successfully." But nothing happens....

It won’t. Missed the use of the special table INSERTED, which precisely indicates the set of altered records of the table in question.

What you really want is a Stored Procedure. Trigger is only activated when some record is activated. In this case, it would be:

create procedure Atualiza_Idade
as 

    declare
    @i int,
    @dtnasc  datetime ,
    @Idade int,
    @Hoje DATETIME,
    @Condicao int

    SELECT @i = MIN(ID) FROM Cliente
    Set @Hoje=(SELECT GETDATE ( ))

    while (@i<(select COUNT( *) from Cliente ))
    begin
    select @dtnasc=DataNasimento,@Idade=Idade from Cliente where id=@i;

    set @Condicao = (SELECT FLOOR(DATEDIFF(DAY, @dtnasc, @Hoje) / 365.25));
    if (@Condicao<>(select idade from Cliente where id=@i))
    update Cliente set Idade=@Condicao where id=@i;

    set @i=@i+1;

end
go
