What is the Diff b/w Constraints and Trigeer..

Answer / saraswathi muthuraman

TO apply business rule we are using Constraints and trigger.

If we have any computation and validation over the
calculated value we have choose "trigger".


Direct validation like the column should not contain null
values then you can choose Constraints.

Constraints : NOT NULL,UNIQUE,PRIMARY KEY,CHECK,REFERENCE

Trigger effected only those row after which trigger applied
but constraint effected all row of table .

Answer / mohanbabu

Constraints are used to limit the type of data that can go
into a table.
Constraints can be specified when a table is created or
after the table is created.

A trigger is a fragment of code that you tell Oracle to run
before or after table is modified.
