Advantages of Trigger

1.Faster application development. Because the database stores triggers, you do not have to code the trigger actions into each database application.
2.Global enforcement of business rules. Define a trigger once and then reuse it for any application that uses the database
3.Easier maintenance. If a business policy changes, you need to change only the corresponding trigger program instead of each application program.
4.Improve performance in client/server environment. All rules run in the server before the result returns.
5.Triggers can be used to enforce constraints
