How many Triggers are possible in MySQL?

by

There are only six Triggers allowed to use in the MySQL database.

  1. Before Insert
  2. After Insert
  3. Before Update
  4. After Update
  5. Before Delete
  6. After Delete

In MySQL, the number of triggers you can create depends on the version you are using and the specific configuration of your MySQL instance. Generally, MySQL imposes a limit on the number of triggers per table rather than per database or server.

As of my last update, which was in January 2022, MySQL imposes a limit of 8192 triggers per table. However, this number may vary depending on the specific version of MySQL you’re using and any custom configurations set by database administrators.

So, the correct answer would be that the number of triggers possible in MySQL is dependent on the version and configuration, with a limit of 8192 triggers per table being a common default.
