Understand what SQL Server Triggers are and when to use them effectively in real-world scenarios.

🔄 Explore the difference between AFTER Triggers and INSTEAD OF Triggers with step-by-step examples.

🧠 Learn how AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE triggers help automate data validations and logging tasks.

⚙️ Dive deep into INSTEAD OF INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE triggers to override default DML behavior smartly.

📥 Build your own AFTER INSERT trigger to log audit trails automatically after data insertion.

✏️ Create AFTER UPDATE triggers to track changes, enforce business rules, or auto-adjust related records.

🗑️ Use AFTER DELETE triggers for soft delete handling or backup of deleted rows before removal.

🔄 Implement INSTEAD OF INSERT triggers to prevent duplicate entries or apply transformation logic during inserts.

🛠️ Use INSTEAD OF UPDATE to control which columns can be updated, or to implement row-level restrictions.

🚫 Apply INSTEAD OF DELETE to restrict critical deletions or move data to an archive table instead of permanent deletion.

🔍 Learn to access the INSERTED and DELETED pseudo-tables for writing smart and efficient trigger logic.

🚨 Understand how to prevent recursive trigger calls and infinite loops using DISABLE and NESTLEVEL.
