Answer / rishi kumar

Constraint is used for column
Trigger is used for table

Answer / sairam

Both will be used to implement business rules.

Constraints will do memory location to table comparision.
where as triggers will do table to table comparision.
for this triggers will use magic tables(inserted,deleted).

In the order of precedence first Constraints next Triggers,
But performance wise triggers will give best performance
because table to table comparision is faster than memeory
location to table comparision.

Answer / harshad more

Constraints are great at maintaining database integrity for
database fields and relationships between database tables.

Triggers are great for checking past vs. current values and
making decisions based on that data.

In my experience, it is usually much more favorable to use
constraints when possible and leave the trickier business
and auditing logic for use in triggers.

Answer / vampire007

I dont' think Triggers are performanc wise more superior to
constraints. Constraints are isolated to table level
whereas triggers are flexible to do the validation on any
number of tables.

1.Constraint is a statement about a database that is always
true.Whereas triggers constrain what a transaction can do.

2.Constrain applies to existing data in the table and any
statement that manipulates the table.Whereas Trigger does
not apply to data loaded before the trigger was created.
