Triggers
A trigger is a specification that the database should automatically execute a particular function whenever a certain type of operation is performed. A trigger can be defined to execute before or after an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE operation, either once per modified row, or once per SQL statement.Triggers are actually supported since MySQL version 5.0.10 If a trigger event occurs, the trigger fires.
