  trigger
       
           An action causing the automatic invocation of a
          procedure, for instance to preserve referential integrity.
          A triggers goes into effect when a user attempts to modify
          data with an insert, delete, or update command.  A trigger can
          instruct the system to take any number of actions when a
          specified change is attempted.  By preventing incorrect,
          unauthorized, or inconsistent changes to data, triggers help
          maintain the integrity of the database.
