Calling the SYSDATE() function as per lecture however returns this function does not exist. Also have tried NOW() and this also returns the same error. 'Error Code: 1305. FUNCTION employees.SYSTDATE does not exist' USE employees; DELIMITER $$ CREATE TRIGGER trig_ins_dept_mng AFTER INSERT ON dept_manager FOR EACH ROW BEGIN DECLARE v_curr_salary int; # create a variable to contain current salary SELECT MAX(salary) INTO v_curr_salary # insert max salary to variable FROM salaries WHERE emp_no = NEW.emp_no; # only run when a change is made to emp_no IF v_curr_salary IS NOT NULL THEN UPDATE salaries SET to_date = SYSTDATE() WHERE emp_no = NEW.emp_no AND to_date = NEW.to_date; INSERT INTO salaries VALUES(NEW.emp_no, v_curr_salary + 20000, NEW.from_date, NEW.to_date); END IF; END$$ DELIMITER ; INSERT INTO dept_manager VALUES ('111534', 'd009', date_format(sysdate(),'%Y-%m-%d'), '9999-01-01'); SELECT * FROM dept_manager WHERE emp_no = '111534';

Hi Thomas! Great to have you in the course and thanks for reaching out! The function's name is still deriving from System Date, however it is just SYSDATE(), not SYSTDATE(). Please remove the letter T and retry. Hope this helps. Best, Martin
