Can anyone please tell me the difference between database level trigger and server level trigger in SQL Server ?
Thanks in advance.
SQL Server 2005 introduced DML Triggers that can be set to fire on your chosen DDL events such as CREATE_TABLE, ALTER_TABLE, DROP_TABLE, ALTER_DATABASE, CREATE_LOGIN etc.
DDL Triggers can be set within 2 scopes:
Server scope: Triggers created with Server scope must target server DDL events such as CREATE_DATABASE or CREATE_LOGIN
Database scope: Triggers created with database scope must target database level events such as CREATE_TABLE or ALTER_PROC.
See the full list of SQL Server DDL Trigger Events (including their scope) on msdn here.
Syntax of a DDL trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER [TriggerName]
ON [Scope (Server|Database)]
FOR [EventName...],
AS
-- code for your trigger response here
Database trigger : Database trigger has been work on table like insert, update and delete record.
Server trigger : Server trigger has been work on database like drop table and alter table. It is important of security level. If you single user access database should be not important. But Multi user access database has been important. Which user would be work on database.

I created a windows form app using visual studio 2017 and MS SQL Server 2016.
It's working correctly. SQL table contains
tblMain(HomeID,Bed,Location,Address,Town,Province)
When I insert/update/delete it's working.
I also created 2 tables
tblHome (HomeID,Bed,Location) and tblLocation (Address,Town,Province).
Now I need to insert/update/delete tblMain through my windows form app and automatically insert/update/delete tblHome and tblLocation tables`.
Is this possible?
A trigger is a special type of stored procedure that automatically runs when an event occurs in the database server. DML triggers run when a user tries to modify data through a data manipulation language (DML) event. DML events are INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements on a table or view.

I have a trigger on Table A in Database A which inserts data into Table b which is in Database B, both databases are on the same server.
A user with developer access to Table A in Database A is encountering an error when they perform dml operations as his role is restricted just to use Database A. Is there a way to default a trigger to run on a specific connection?
In SQL Server, triggers (and stored procedures and functions) have the EXECUTE AS clause. This gives you control over the permissions when the code is executed.
CREATE TRIGGER DEMO_DBLEVELTRIGGER
ON DATABASE
AFTER CREATE_TABLE
AS
BEGIN
PRINT 'CREATION OF NEW TABLES NOT ALLOWED'
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
END
GO
if it is a database level trigger and you want to disable specifically one trigger then use
DISABLE TRIGGER triggername ON DATABASE;
GO
if it is a database level trigger and you want to disable all triggers on one table, then use
DISABLE TRIGGER ALL ON schemaname.tablename;
GO
if it is a database level trigger and you want to disable all the triggers in that particular database, then use
DISABLE TRIGGER ALL ON DATABASE;
GO
If trigger has server scope then use below
DISABLE TRIGGER triggername ON ALL SERVER
If you want to disable all triggers which have server scope,then use
DISABLE TRIGGER ALL ON ALL SERVER
you have to use ALL with caution ..Docs state..
SQL Server creates triggers in databases that are published for merge replication. Specifying ALL in published databases disables these triggers, which disrupts replication. Verify that the current database is not published for merge replication before specifying ALL.
NOTE:
Changing the trigger by using the ALTER TRIGGER statement enables the trigger
References:
DISABLE TRIGGER
Since it's a Database level trigger, you have to specify that you're dropping the trigger on the database.
so instead of...
drop trigger DEMO_DBLEVELTRIGGER
do
drop trigger DEMO_DBLEVELTRIGGER on database
of course from the context of whatever database you created it on.
I am creating a database level trigger which should only perform a certain action based on which tables were updated.
With a regular trigger I would just use IF UPDATED(column).
Is there some way to determine not just the column that was updated but also the table?
You can't create DDL TRIGGER ON UPDATE
CREATE TRIGGER
DDL triggers, like standard triggers, execute stored procedures in
response to an event. But unlike standard triggers, they do not
execute in response to UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE statements on a table
or view. Instead, they primarily execute in response to data
definition language (DDL) statements. These include CREATE, ALTER,
DROP, GRANT, DENY, REVOKE, and UPDATE STATISTICS statements. Certain
system stored procedures that perform DDL-like operations can also
fire DDL triggers.
I have been trying to find out if I can make a column Open on Insert, and closed on Update.
What I mean by that, is I need a column that I can give it a value only on Insert, but if I try to give it a value with Update, the statement would fail.
I am working with SQL 2008...
You can't do this with constraints - you need to use triggers for this.
