SQL Triggers Explained! (Short & Sweet SQL Tutorial)

In this short SQL tutorial we’ll walk you through SQL triggers – you will know what they are, what can they be used for, and how to use them.

A SQL trigger is a SQL database object that contains code to be executed when a certain event occurs.
SQL triggers can be executed either before or after certain events and they have three types:

1) INSERT SQL triggers tell a SQL database that data has been inserted and action needs to be taken.
2) UPDATE SQL triggers telling a SQL database that data has been updated and action needs to be taken.
3) DELETE SQL triggers are fired when data within certain SQL database is deleted.

A SQL trigger can also be row-based or statement-based: row-based SQL triggers are executed once for each row, while statement-based SQL triggers are executed once as a SQL trigger itself.

SQL triggers can be used to automate tasks, enforce ACID compliance, or act as “mini SQL developers” to ensure that the value of a row is never set above or below the number X, etc.
