Using triggers like:
CREATE TABLE animal (name varchar(30), updater varchar(80)); CREATE TRIGGER update_animal BEFORE UPDATE ON animal FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.updater= current_user; CREATE TRIGGER add_animal BEFORE INSERT ON animal FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.updater= current_user insert into animal (name) values ('dog'),('cat'); select * from animal; +------+---------------+ | name | updater | +------+---------------+ | dog | dan@localhost | | cat | dan@localhost | +------+---------------+Thank you for your comment. As you suggested, I set up a "trigger", but what is added to the updater column is not the username who made the update or insert, but the username who created the trigger.
