So the example that i used n my previous post shouldnt be used? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I should use a stored procedure? should the stored procedure be called by a trigger?<br />
<br />
All i want t accomplish is when a user inserts or updates a parts price that it is stored in a Pricing table.<br />
<br />
i thought it was a good opportunity to learn more about triggers. <br />
<br />
could you provide the answer using a stored procedure then? &nbsp;

<div>
Very good explanation of when to use and not use a Trigger.<br />
<br />
1-Do not use them for emails<br />
2- Use them For Data Auditing<br />
3- Use Stored procedures if you have access to the UI or app<br />
<br />
Thanks again!
