Description Ignatius Reilly 2011-11-13 15:24:00 UTC
Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

In the SQLite DDL:

DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS move_tagstree;
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER move_tagstree AFTER UPDATE OF pid ON Tags
 FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
                DELETE FROM TagsTree
                    WHERE
                    ((id = OLD.id)
                    OR
                    id IN (SELECT id FROM TagsTree WHERE pid=OLD.id))
                    AND
                    pid IN (SELECT pid FROM TagsTree WHERE id=OLD.id);
                INSERT INTO TagsTree
                    SELECT NEW.id, NEW.pid
                    UNION
                    SELECT NEW.id, pid FROM TagsTree WHERE id=NEW.pid
                    UNION
                    SELECT id, NEW.pid FROM TagsTree WHERE pid=NEW.id
                    UNION
                    SELECT A.id, B.pid FROM TagsTree A, TagsTree B
                    WHERE
                    A.pid = NEW.id AND B.id = NEW.pid;
 END
//
DELIMITER ;


In "AFTER UPDATE OF pid ON Tags", the "OF pid" part is not supported by MySQL 5.1 (can't specify a particular field that is updated, only that a record has been updated as a whole)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
New SQLite DB - inspect the DDL

Actual Results:  
Don't know - I migrated from an older version previously migrated to MySQL. Run through a comparison of the SQLite DDL and the MySQL one, where it appeared that several triggers were missing in the MySQL verison

Expected Results:  
Using a MySQL back-end, the logic of changing a parent tag is seems to function well in the code, without the need of this trigger.

I suggest to remove this trigger.
Comment 1 Francesco Riosa 2011-12-15 12:56:29 UTC
mysql has only the "DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS move_tagstree;" bacause in fact it does not use it, the ancillary table `TagsTree` it's in fact a view.

This is because the mysql and sqlite managing of tags is slightly different in digikam. Since the sqlite one is the more stable (there are few bugs still open in the mysql one) I would reccomend to leave the sqlite part as is and don't touch it.

Also this is not a bug simply different backend follow different rutes to (try to) achieve the same result.
