觸發器對表進行插入、更新、刪除的時候會自動執行的特殊存儲過程。觸發器一般用在check約束更加復雜的約束上面。觸發器和普通的存儲過程的區別是：觸發器是當對某一個表進行操作。諸如：update、insert、delete這些操作的時候，系統會自動調用執行該表上對應的觸發器。SQL Server 2005中觸發器可以分為兩類：DML觸發器和DDL觸發器，其中DDL觸發器它們會影響多種數據定義語言語句而激發，這些語句有create、alter、drop語句。
其中after觸發器要求只有執行某一操作insert、update、delete之后觸發器才被觸發，且只能定義在表上。而instead of觸發器表示并不執行其定義的操作（insert、update、delete）而僅是執行觸發器本身。既可以在表上定義instead of觸發器，也可以在視圖上定義。
觸發器有兩個特殊的表：插入表（instered表）和刪除表（deleted表）。這兩張是邏輯表也是虛表。有系統在內存中創建者兩張表，不會存儲在數據庫中。而且兩張表的都是只讀的，只能讀取數據而不能修改數據。這兩張表的結果總是與被改觸發器應用的表的結構相同。當觸發器完成工作后，這兩張表就會被刪除。Inserted表的數據是插入或是修改后的數據，而deleted表的數據是更新前的或是刪除的數據。
Update數據的時候就是先刪除表記錄，然后增加一條記錄。這樣在inserted和deleted表就都有update后的數據記錄了。注意的是：觸發器本身就是一個事務，所以在觸發器里面可以對修改數據進行一些特殊的檢查。如果不滿足可以利用事務回滾，撤銷操作。
