Course Description
Triggers in SQL Server 2016 are sets of statements that execute automatically when a specific event occurs in a database. This course covers the design and implementation of the various types of triggers found in SQL Server 2016. In addition, this course covers functions, including scalar-valued, table-valued, deterministic, and nondeterministic. This course is one of a series of courses that cover the objectives for 70-762: Developing SQL Databases exam.
