A trigger is a procedural code in a database that automatically invokes whenever certain events on a particular table or view in the database occur. It can be executed when records are inserted into a table, or any columns are being updated. We can create a trigger in MySQL using the syntax as follows:
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name
[before | after]
{insert | update | delete}
ON table_name [FOR EACH ROW]
BEGIN
–variable declarations
–trigger code
END;
