    I think the big mistake that beginners make with triggers is using them at all. They see them as a sort of event driven solution, and don't really understand the implications.

    Triggers are kind of a bad practice of first choice for beginners, while experienced developers avoid them whenever possible.

    Very good point !

    other common caveats:

    - sending mails form triggers

    - forgetting triggers are in-transaction and complaining when rollbacks occur

    - triggers doing xp_cmdshell stuff

    - how about doing some clr stuff in triggers, please use a web service to add some data ... making it depending on stuff you cannot control :sick:
