It is quite possible to add multiple virtual generated columns in a MySQL table. It can be illustrated with the following example as follows −Examplemysql> Create table profit(cost int, price int, profit int AS (price-cost), price_revised int AS (price-2)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.73 sec) mysql> Describe profit; +---------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------------------+ | Field         | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra             | +---------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------------------+ | cost          | int(11) | YES  |     | NULL    |               ...

For adding MySQL stored GENERATED COLUMNS in a table, we can use the same syntax as adding a column just adding “AS(expression)” after the data type. Its syntax would be as follows −SyntaxALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMN column_name AS(expression)STORED;Examplemysql> ALTER TABLE employee_data_stored ADD COLUMN FULLName Varchar(200) AS (CONCAT_WS(" ", 'First_name', 'Last_name')) STORED; Query OK, 2 rows affected (1.23 sec) Records: 2 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> Describe employee_data_stored; +------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+------------------+ | Field      | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra            | +------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+------------------+ | ID       ...

Followings are some basic differences between MySQL stored GENERATED COLUMNS and MySQL virtual GENERATED COLUMNS −In terms of Disk SpaceIf we see the difference in terms of disk space then virtual generated columns would not take any disk space. On the other hand, the stored generated column would take disk space.In terms of operationIf we see the difference in terms of operation then virtual generated columns are INPLACE operations which means that the table definition is changed without having to recopy all the data again. On the other hand, stored generated columns are a copy operation and it has the ... Read More

It can be illustrated with the help of an example in which we are creating a stored generated column in the table named ‘employee_data_stored’. As we know that stored generated column can be generated by using the keyword ‘stored’.Examplemysql> Create table employee_data_stored(ID INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, First_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, Last_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, FULL_NAME VARCHAR(90) GENERATED ALWAYS AS(CONCAT(First_name, ' ', Last_name)) STORED); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.52 sec) mysql> DESCRIBE employee_data_stored; +------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+------------------+ | Field      | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra            | +------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+------------------+ | ...
