1) Constraints can be used for validation but trigger can be used for complex validation and auditing purpose.
2) Trigger is database object but constraint not.
3) Trigger can be fired on DDL commands but constraints are created or altered using DDL commands.
4) Trigger can be fired on particular event like before/after DML but constraint always check before any data insert or update to table.
