When a trigger on one table updates another table, does it activate
the update trigger on the updated table?
For ex:
1. Table A has a trigger for update
2. Table B has a trigger for update that updates table A
Will the trigger no table A run when table B trigger updates table A?
Thanks
This isn€™t an problem as such, it€™s more of a debate.
If a table needs a number of update triggers which do differing tasks, should these triggers be separated out or encapsulated into one all encompassing trigger. Speaking in terms of performance, it doesn€™t make much of an improvement doing either depending upon the tasks performed. I was wondering in terms of maintenance and best practice etc. My view is that if the triggers do totally differing tasks they should be a trigger each on their own.

What would be the best way to handle different updates for a table, multiple triggers, or just one large triggger? I am not worried about their order of firing, just that they fire
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to trigger and I have following question.
I have two tables: "Customer" & "AccountDetails". "Customer" stored customer's personal information, so one customer will be at one row. "AccountDetails" stored all the accounts information which tie to each customer, so there will be multiple rows for a customer since one customer can have mulitple accounts.
Right now I have a updated trigger on "AccountDetails" table. When there is an updated to this table, it will insert some data to another "CustLog" table for logging when customer does the updates. Let's say Customer "A" has 5 accounts. When "A" updates his accounts' information, all 5 rows will be updated, triggers will be called 5 times, and 5 insert rows will be added to "CustLog". Is that any way to keep track those 5 updated on "AccountDetails" are referred to the same customer (by customer ID or so) so that it will only run the trigger once instead of 5 times?
I hope I make it clear and please help me on this! :o
I have a question regarding Triggers.
Lets say I want to create a trigger for Insert, Update and Delete action. For each action I do different things.
Now I can create a single trigger for Insert, delete and update, and using counts for inserted and deleted table, take the action appropriately.
Or I can create three different triggers each for Insrt, update and delete.
Which option is better for performance?
Thanks
I'm trying to use Query Analyzer to create several triggers on different files in the same sql script file. It appears to only allow me to create one trigger at a time in Query Analyzer. How do you separate multiple create trigger statements? Here what I'm trying to do:
CREATE TRIGGER PO_BOL_DELETE ON dbo.PO_BOL
FOR DELETE
AS
INSERT into PO_Back
SELECT *, host_name(), suser_name(), getdate()
FROM deleted
GO
CREATE TRIGGER RECEIPT_DELETE ON dbo.receipt
FOR DELETE
AS
INSERT into receipt_Back
SELECT *, host_name(), suser_name(), getdate()
FROM deleted
GO
I have a table "PageInfo" wich has columns "PageID, Title(has "AboutUs" as one of the values), DateModified, Active". My other table is "AboutUs" and has columns "ID, WhatsNew, Welcome, Active".
My goal here is that if table "AboutUs" is affected as an "INSERT" or an "UPDATE" on any row, I want "PageInfo.DateModified" WHERE "PageInfo.Title = AboutUs" to be updated with "getDate()". Don't know if I'm clear enough but thanks in advance.

I have triggers in place on a table that do various checks on data input. It is clear that because of these triggers I cannot do updates on multiple records in this table. When I do, I receive an error that "subquery returned more than one value." Is there anyway to work around this by temporarily turning off triggers or something else?
Many thanks for advice.
Hello,
I am trying to create a trigger to update a table on a different database server. (Both databases are SQL server 7.0) Does anyone know the syntax of how to implement this?
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks,

I have a table which when certain columns are updated, need a trigger to fire to update a next schedule date in that same table for that record. I can write the trigger, but my question for performance and efficiency is which approach would be better. Separate triggers fo the 8 columns, or a large trigger with an If to check if these columns are updated.
Thanks
Hey!
DDS triggers 3 - 4 times on Report Servers with 15 mints apart..any ideas?
Is it possible to achieve this using triggers:When someone tries to delete a row in table A, the trigger should first delete a corresponding row in table B and then delete the row in table A. The reason being that, there is a foreign key set on Table B that references table A. So any attempt to delete a row in table A without deleting the corresponding row from B, throws an error.

I have to write Trigger for Update,

General Problem
I need to create a set of rows every time a new row is inserted into a table.
Example (I think this would work)...
select @insertedId = column1 from insertedselect @id = column1 from table1 where column2 in (select column1 from table2 where column2 = @insertedId)insert into table3 values(x, y, @id)
Is it possible to do the same kind of thing in a situation where the select statement returns multiple values and execute the insert statement for each of these values?
Also, if table3 was in fact the table on which the trigger acts, would it then be executed for every row created by the trigger?
Sorry if I sound confused. I am.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I'm using triggers to handle my transaction log to cature inserts and updates. It works fine except if the user clicks on the Save button more than once, the trigger is fired and the record is written to the log even if the record wasn't changed. Does anyone know how to check if the record was actually changed so that it isn't written to the table if it wasn't?
Thank you,

When I execute a stored proc from my asp.net page, will the results of a trigger be returned to my program?
For instance say my stored proc is:
Update Employees set
(Lastname = @Lastname)
where ID = @ID
And my trigger is:
CREATE TRIGGER tr_Employees_U on Employees FOR UPDATE AS
IF UPDATE(lastname)
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('cannot change lastname', 16, 1)
ROLLBACK TRAN
RETURN
END
GO
It seems like since this is an AFTER trigger that my webpage would actually get a valid return code from my stored procedure however the trigger would rollback those changes correct? Or would the trigger get fired and send it's return code to my webpage?

View 3 Replies View Relatedl'm trying to build a trigger on a table. The reason for the trigger is to check a certain field for the first three characters if it has ie abc it must update another field in this case loanbook to newabc.How do l write the trigger so that it also check if exists and perform the updates. Please help its Urgent. l've listed the trigger below.
CREATE TRIGGER UpdTest_TRGData
ON Test_TRG
FOR insert,Update AS
IF left('Loan_No',3)='ABC'
update Test_TRG
set loanbook = 'NEWABC'
else
IF left('Loan_No',3)='DEF'
update Test_TRG set
loanbook = 'NEWDEF'
where loanbook is null
else
update Test_TRG
set loanbook =left('Loan_No',3)
where loanbook is null
I'm a bit confused on this bit please elaborate : " FROM Test_TRG t INNER JOIN inserted i ON t.PK = i.PK ".
The PK is on which field? Basically this trigger should ensure that on insertion of o new loan if
The left(loan_no,3)=MCG and its null then NEWMCG
left(loan_no,3)=MCG and its null then NEWMCG
left(loan_no,3)=KVS and its null then NEWKVS
left(loan_no,3)=MFS and its null then MFS
left(loan_no,3)=TCR and its null then TCR
left(loan_no,3)=ABL and its null then ABL
Listed below is what l've tried to do but l'm missing the PK part.Otherwise everything else you explained
in the script is clear. Thanks man its urgent. When l parse the query its fine , but When l run it
l get an error.
CREATE TRIGGER UpdTest_TRGData
ON Test_TRG
FOR INSERT, UPDATE
AS
UPDATE Test_TRG
SET LoanBook = CASE WHEN LEFT( i.Loan_No, 3 ) = 'MCG' THEN 'NewMCG'

Hey everyone...
I'm working on trying to figure out how to update the child table from the parent via a trigger. This works fine as long as the value is in the child table. If it's not, then I get my foreign key violation. So, My next thought was to simply put in a begin tran / rollback tran within the trigger... My question is this : If I have multiple triggers on the parent table all based on the update of the key field (and the child tables... some 7 of them) all have FK's, if I rollback one trigger does it rollback the entire transaction? Or just the functionality of that trigger? From what I've read, it appears as if it's the entire transaction... if so, how do I get a trigger to 'ignore' itself or not fire based on a select criteria that i have within that same trigger...
Thank you...
I just tried creating my first trigger and I'm a little bit confused. I am trying to see if certain fields have changed and will do that by checking the values of the fields in the "master" table and the "Inserted" table. I wasn't sure which table would have the old data and which would have the new, so I created the following trigger to help me determine which was which:
CREATE Trigger upd_cost_master On tbl_cost_master
For Insert, Update As
Declare @U_Name varchar(65)
Declare @O_Name varchar(65)
Select @U_Name=I.submitted_by, @O_Name=O.submitted_by
From tbl_cost_master O Inner Join Inserted I On O.autokey = I.autokey
Print 'Inserted: ' + @U_Name
Print 'tbl_cost_master: ' + @O_Name
Commit Tran
To my surprise, @U_Name and @O_Name contained the same values. I though that one table contained the old values and one contained the new. Was I wrong? If so, is there anyway to compare the Old and New values through a trigger?

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I have an insert trigger on table t05r. I populate table t05r with a DTS package. The trigger is supposed to add the record which was inserted into t05r, into t39r. After I run the DTS package to populate t05r, I checked t39r and no records where added. What is going wrong? Is it that DTS uses bulk copy and triggers don't fire on bulk copy?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have not used triggers before and wanted to know if it was approproate for my issue:
When a new user registers via the web, a record is inserted into the "student" table. I would also like to insert a record into the "StudentCourse" table that adds this new student to a class (studentID, CourseID). I thought I could look into a trigger or stored procedure for this. The problem is that I do not want to mess with the programming side of it as it is an off the shelf system and written in Java/JSP, so I would like to handle this in the DB.
Thanks in advance,
