Triggers offer benefits to your business.
These benefits are:
- Faster application development. Because the database stores triggers,
you do not have to code the trigger actions into each database application.
- Global enforcement of business rules. Define a trigger once and then reuse
it for any application that uses the database.
- Easier maintenance. If a business policy changes, you need to change only
the corresponding trigger program instead of each application program.
- Improve performance in client/server environment. All rules run in the
server before the result returns.
