Answer:

We can create any type of triggers on a single table . But the thing is if we have Instead Of Trigger created on a table untill and unless it is disabled or deleted we cannot work on After Triggers.
At a single strech we cannot work on both the types.

Hi

Nice Point.

Somebody might think that "We can set the trigger Order - AFTER trigger as 'First' and INSTEAD OF Trigger as 'Last', So then, AFTER trigger will raise First" ?

No.

Because we can set the Trigger Order on AFTER trigger, But we can not set the Trigger order on INSTEAD OF Trigger...!, So the INSTEAD OF Trigger will raise at First automatically/default.

Yes you are right the main advantage with Insteadof rather than after is that we can use all the three operations(insert,update,delete) can be done using a single Trigger.
