I am trying to generate an error message using the MySQL trigger. Below is my code:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER `test_before_insert` BEFORE INSERT ON `Initial_Fees`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF ((SELECT Activation from Portfolio WHERE idPortfolio = New.idPortfolio)=false) THEN
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '45000';
SET MESSAGE_TEXT := 'Disabled Thing';
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
But this always generates an error. I don't know what the error is, because It is not saying anything about the error, it is just "Error".
Any advice on this please? Apart from that, some people say using SIGNAL is subjected to issues because it can be MySQL version dependent. Any advice?

the set message_text clause is part of the signal syntax - there should not be a semicolon (;) between them.
Additionally, it uses a = operator, not a :=:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER `test_before_insert` BEFORE INSERT ON `Initial_Fees`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF ((SELECT Activation from Portfolio WHERE idPortfolio = New.idPortfolio)=false) THEN
SIGNAL SQLSTATE '45000' -- Note: no semicolon
SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Disabled Thing'; -- Note the = operator
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
