Why you are not using stored procedure? As per your requirement this is a perfect place to implement Stored Procedure.....and last of all using trigger you can't show a message that the user exists or not...

For more concept about trigger and where to use it and how to use it please go to the following links

Hi Mylogics,

My question is why you are adding a trigger to check existing records.
you can just check in query in same sp that is you are using to inserts records in db table.

to create trigger you can write code as

CSS
CREATE TRIGGER trgname
BEFORE INSERT ON my_table_name
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF something THEN
#do somthing
END IF;
END;
