Could someone please explain to me as to what is the use of Connotation, Inserted or Deleted while writing a trigger. I read about it but really couldnt wrap my head around it.

So, can someone please explain to me as to what this is ... maybe an example would be fine too.

thanks.,
Robert.

DML trigger statements use two special tables: the deleted table and the inserted tables. SQL Server automatically creates and manages these tables. They are memomy residents and can not be accessed outside execution context


BOL explains them in detail

also, in SQL 2005 or later these tables are available when you use OUTPUT Clause
