Triggers are special types of Stored Procedures that are defined to execute automatically in place of or after data modifications. They can be executed automatically on the INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE triggering actions.
There are two different types of triggers in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. They are INSTEAD OF triggers and AFTER triggers. These triggers differ from each other in terms of their purpose and when they are fired. In this article we shall discuss each type of trigger.
First of all, let's create a sample database with some tables and insert some sample data in those tables using the script below:
Create Database KDMNN
GO
USE KDMNN
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[User_Details] (
[UserID] [int] NULL ,
[FName] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[MName] [varchar] (50) NULL ,
[LName] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[Email] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[User_Master] (
[UserID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[UserName] [varchar] (50) NULL ,
[Password] [varchar] (50) NULL
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[User_Master] WITH NOCHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_User_Master] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[UserID]
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[User_Details] ADD
CONSTRAINT [FK_User_Details_User_Master] FOREIGN KEY
) REFERENCES [dbo].[User_Master] (
)
INSERT INTO USER_MASTER(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
SELECT 'Navneeth','Navneeth' UNION
SELECT 'Amol','Amol' UNION
SELECT 'Anil','Anil' UNION
SELECT 'Murthy','Murthy'
INSERT INTO USER_DETAILS(USERID, FNAME, LNAME, EMAIL)
SELECT 1,'Navneeth','Naik','navneeth@kdmnn.com' UNION
SELECT 2,'Amol','Kulkarni','amol@kdmnn.com' UNION
SELECT 3,'Anil','Bahirat','anil@kdmnn.com' UNION
SELECT 4,'Murthy','Belluri','murthy@kdmnn.com'
