Functionaliteit als de CHECK Constraints van andere producten zou in dit specifieke geval geschikt zijn, maar MySQL ondersteunt deze functie niet. Meestal worden triggers vaak gebruikt om te bereiken wat je nodig hebt.
In het volgende voorbeeld, heel eenvoudig, worden alle kolommen gevalideerd op de trigger en wanneer u 50 records probeert in te voegen, duurt dit enkele milliseconden. Dit is slechts een proof of concept en het zou handig zijn om een test uit te voeren in een productie-achtige omgeving.
