Hi there,

Sorry, this isn't going to be a direct answer to your question. I'm not an Azure guru, and I try to avoid triggers where I can, but I thought I'd drop you a message as you've had no other responses yet, so ignore me if you want.

Are you limited to using this trigger in Azure? Are you trying to re-create an existing on-premise database for instance. If not, it would seem that setting a column default might be more appropriate?

Good luck.
