Triggers in MySQL are automated rules that run SQL whenever you insert, update, or delete data in a table. While constraints handle simple checks, triggers take care of more complex validations — like syncing a sales_totals table or recording every user role change in an audit_log.
Most of your business logic should live in the application layer. But triggers ensure that some rules are enforced immediately, right when your database changes. This can save you from inconsistencies and keep critical processes running smoothly.
Why Working With Triggers Can Be Tough
Triggers are powerful, but they can also be tricky to manage, debug, and optimize — especially as your database grows. That’s where dbForge Studio for MySQL comes in.
