Question: Type of trigger?
Answer: There are two types of trigger DML and DDL.
1- DML Trigger:DML triggers is a special type of stored procedure that automatically takes effect when a data manipulation language (DML) event takes place that affects the table or view defined in the trigger. DML events include INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements. There are two types of DML trigger.
A) Instead of Trigger:Instead of trigger override the standards actions of the triggering, means fire in the place of the triggering action such as insert, delete or update. For example: when the value being updated in an hourly wage column in a payroll table exceeds a specific value.
B) After Trigger: This trigger fire after execution of action query. After trigger fire for both DML and DDL statements.
2- DDL Trigger: This type of trigger fired when action occurs like Drop, Create, and Alter Table DDL triggers are always after trigger.
