How can I pass the result from a scalar [single row, single value] query to coalesce? I am trying to pick the priority as (the biggest priority so far in the table) + 1. [0 if it is the first row.]
create trigger priority_SuperRuleSamples before insert on SuperRuleSamples
FOR EACH ROW
SET NEW.Priority=coalesce(NEW.Priority,
coalesce(
select Priority from SuperRuleSamples order by Priority desc limit 1,
-1
)+1
)
