Chapter 3: Triggers Tutorials

These tutorials demonstrate how to use Sybase WorkSpace to view, create, and debug triggers on an Adaptive Server Enterprise server.

A trigger is a SQL procedure that initiates an action when an event (insert, delete, or update) occurs. Because triggers are event-driven specialized procedures, they are stored in and managed by Adaptive Server Enterprise. Adaptive Server Enterprise automatically fires the trigger as a result of a data modification to the associated table.

A table can have triggers for insert, delete, and update, or a combination of these three event types.
