Answer / shailendra kashyap

Magic Tables:
Whenever a trigger fires in response to the
INSERT,DELETE,or UPDATE statement,two special tables are
created.These are the insert and the delete tables.They are
also referred to as the magic tables.These are the
conceptual tables and are similar in structure to the table
on which trigger is defined(the trigger table).
The inserted table contains a copy of all records that are
inserted in the trigger table.
The deleted table contains all records that have been
deleted from deleted from the trigger table.Whenever any
updation takes place,the trigger uses both the inserted and
deleted tables

Answer / imran badrampalli

There are 2 Magic Tables in SQL server Inserted and Deleted.
These are mantained by SQL server for Internal processing
whenever an update, insert of delete occur on a table.
However, we can refere these tables in a Trigger.
Whenever an update table statement is fired SQL server
mantains the original row before updation in a deleted
table and New (updated )row in a Inserted Table.

Same is the case when an insert is fired Only Inserted
table is populated with inserted Row.
and when Delete table statement is fired Deleted table is
populated with the deleted row.

Answer / aastha pallav

Sometimes we need to know about the data which is being
inserted/deleted by triggers in database. With the
insertion and deletion of data, tables named “INSERTED”
and “DELETED” gets created in SQL Server which contains
modified/deleted data.
Here, “INSERTED” and “DELETED” tables are called magic
tables.

Answer / yogesh

You all have answered what magic tables are. its correct :
there are two magic tables named inserted and deleted.

On Insertion :
whenever an insert takes place, the data goes into inserted
table before the commit of the transaction.

On Deletion :
Whenever a row gets deleted from a table, data goes into
deleted table.

On Update :
Since an update statement is a combination of delete and
insert so in case of update data goes in both, inserted and
deleted tables.

But the further Question is :

How the magic tables get created by ASE? Can any one give
the detailed and satisfactory answer?
