Getting Started with PostgreSQL Triggers in a Distributed SQL Database

Triggers are a fundamental feature in SQL databases that can automate various tasks when specific conditions are met. Yugabyte DB is an open-source distributed SQL database that supports triggers, which can be used for auditing, data validation, and other purposes. Triggers can be created to execute functions automatically when INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE operations occur on a table. In Yugabyte DB, triggers can be used to automate tasks such as updating audit logs whenever employee details are updated. The database also supports INSTEAD OF triggers, which can be used to prevent changes to data in a view. While some trigger types are not currently supported, Yugabyte DB provides a flexible and scalable solution for building distributed SQL databases.
