    A nice and easy one.

    Thanks!

    I though so too when I read it; and then saw that more than half the people so far had got it wrong, and found myself seriously wondering how they could get this one wrong

    Nice straight forward question.

    It seems that once again there are people who will complain about the wording of the question no matter how straight forward it is.

    That certainly appears to be true

    For those of you who complain about the wording. Stop splitting hairs, answer the question in the very clear and obvious context it was intended. Then write your own "perfect" question that will be 100% clear and unambiguous to every person on the planet regardless of language or cultural differences.

    My third QoTD is due tomorrow. I expect to be told it's unclear/ambiguous, although I don't think it is. It just goes with writing questions, I guess. 😉

    Edit: and I have to point out that what is and what isn't splitting hairs isn't something on which everyone will agree. Here I agree with you. In the context of a trigger "the inserted table" is a thoroughly well-defined and unambiguous term - or more accuratelu you and I believe that, while others clearly don't.
