  Hi Sreevani

  If you are modifing a record, first Sql server delets the record and then insert a new record with the modified value. Here the deleted table contains the old values and inserted table contains the new values. Further information like how to use and all you can get from SQL Server help.

  Inside the trigger, you can select * from inserted to see the new values, select * from deleted to see the old. You can compare these, join the tables, even join with the modified table to manipulate the data.
