Ex. No. 7 Triggers

Date of Exercise 18-10-2024


Aim:
To solve given problems using triggers.
Description:
Triggers are similar to stored procedures. A trigger stored in the database can include SQL, PL/SQL, or
Java statements, which run as a unit and can invoke stored procedures. However, procedures and
triggers differ in the way they are invoked. A procedure is explicitly run by a user, application, or
trigger, while a trigger is automatically fired by certain events.
Detailed Procedure:
The events that can fire a trigger include:
DML statements that modify data in a table (INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE)
DDL statements
System events such as startup, shutdown, and error messages User events such as logon and logoff
Parts of a Trigger:
Triggering Event or Statement: The event or statement that causes the trigger to fire.
Trigger Restriction: Optional condition that must be met for the trigger to execute.
Trigger Action: The actual code or action to execute when the trigger is fired.
Types of Triggers:
BEFORE and AFTER Triggers: These triggers run before or after the DML operation that fires
them.
INSTEAD OF Triggers: These triggers are used for views to perform actions instead of the DML
statement.
Triggers on System Events and User Events: These triggers execute in response to system events
(e.g., startup, shutdown) or user events (e.g., logon, logoff).
A database trigger is procedural code that is automatically executed in response to certain events on a
particular table or view. Triggers are mostly used for maintaining the integrity of data in the database.
For example, when a new record representing a worker is added to the employees table, new records
should also be created in the related taxes, vacations, and salaries tables.
