Need to list all triggers in SQL Server database with table name and table's schema

People also ask

How can I see all triggers in SQL database?

To view database level triggers, Login to the server using SQL Server management studio and navigate to the database. Expand the database and navigate to Programmability -> Database Triggers. To view triggers at the server level, Login to Server using SSMS and navigate to Server Objects and then Triggers folder.

How do you view the existence of all the triggers in a given schema?

How to list all triggers from Oracle database. To list all triggers from Oracle database you can query tables: USER_TRIGGERS, USER_TRIGGER_COLS, USER_OBJECTS, USER_PROCEDURES, ALL_PROCEDURES, DBA_PROCEDURES. Privileges may be required for certain queries.

How can you effectively find the list of all triggers at the table level defined in given database?

Just go to your table name and expand the Triggers node to view a list of triggers associated with that table. Right click to modify your trigger. Show activity on this post. This way you can list out all the triggers associated with the given table.


Here's one way:

SELECT 
     sysobjects.name AS trigger_name 
    ,USER_NAME(sysobjects.uid) AS trigger_owner 
    ,s.name AS table_schema 
    ,OBJECT_NAME(parent_obj) AS table_name 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsUpdateTrigger') AS isupdate 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsDeleteTrigger') AS isdelete 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsertTrigger') AS isinsert 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsAfterTrigger') AS isafter 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsteadOfTrigger') AS isinsteadof 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'ExecIsTriggerDisabled') AS [disabled] 
FROM sysobjects 

INNER JOIN sysusers 
    ON sysobjects.uid = sysusers.uid 

INNER JOIN sys.tables t 
    ON sysobjects.parent_obj = t.object_id 

INNER JOIN sys.schemas s 
    ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id 

WHERE sysobjects.type = 'TR' 

EDIT: Commented out join to sysusers for query to work on AdventureWorks2008.

SELECT 
     sysobjects.name AS trigger_name 
    ,USER_NAME(sysobjects.uid) AS trigger_owner 
    ,s.name AS table_schema 
    ,OBJECT_NAME(parent_obj) AS table_name 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsUpdateTrigger') AS isupdate 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsDeleteTrigger') AS isdelete 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsertTrigger') AS isinsert 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsAfterTrigger') AS isafter 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsteadOfTrigger') AS isinsteadof 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'ExecIsTriggerDisabled') AS [disabled] 
FROM sysobjects 
/*
INNER JOIN sysusers 
    ON sysobjects.uid = sysusers.uid 
*/  
INNER JOIN sys.tables t 
    ON sysobjects.parent_obj = t.object_id 

INNER JOIN sys.schemas s 
    ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id 
WHERE sysobjects.type = 'TR' 

EDIT 2: For SQL 2000

SELECT 
     o.name AS trigger_name 
    ,'x' AS trigger_owner 
    /*USER_NAME(o.uid)*/ 
    ,s.name AS table_schema 
    ,OBJECT_NAME(o.parent_obj) AS table_name 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'ExecIsUpdateTrigger') AS isupdate 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'ExecIsDeleteTrigger') AS isdelete 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'ExecIsInsertTrigger') AS isinsert 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'ExecIsAfterTrigger') AS isafter 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'ExecIsInsteadOfTrigger') AS isinsteadof 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'ExecIsTriggerDisabled') AS [disabled] 
FROM sysobjects AS o 
/*
INNER JOIN sysusers 
    ON sysobjects.uid = sysusers.uid 
*/  
INNER JOIN sysobjects AS o2 
    ON o.parent_obj = o2.id 

INNER JOIN sysusers AS s 
    ON o2.uid = s.uid 

WHERE o.type = 'TR'

Here you go.

    SELECT
    [so].[name] AS [trigger_name],
    USER_NAME([so].[uid]) AS [trigger_owner],
    USER_NAME([so2].[uid]) AS [table_schema],
    OBJECT_NAME([so].[parent_obj]) AS [table_name],
    OBJECTPROPERTY( [so].[id], 'ExecIsUpdateTrigger') AS [isupdate],
    OBJECTPROPERTY( [so].[id], 'ExecIsDeleteTrigger') AS [isdelete],
    OBJECTPROPERTY( [so].[id], 'ExecIsInsertTrigger') AS [isinsert],
    OBJECTPROPERTY( [so].[id], 'ExecIsAfterTrigger') AS [isafter],
    OBJECTPROPERTY( [so].[id], 'ExecIsInsteadOfTrigger') AS [isinsteadof],
    OBJECTPROPERTY([so].[id], 'ExecIsTriggerDisabled') AS [disabled] 
FROM sysobjects AS [so]
INNER JOIN sysobjects AS so2 ON so.parent_obj = so2.Id
WHERE [so].[type] = 'TR'

A couple of things here...

Also I see that you were attempting to pull the parent tables schema information, I believe in order to do so you would also need to join the sysobjects table on itself so that you can correctly get the schema information for the parent table. the query above does this. Also the sysusers table wasn't needed in the results so that Join has been removed.

tested with SQL 2000, SQL 2005, and SQL 2008 R2


You can also get the body of triggers as following:

SELECT      o.[name],
            c.[text]
FROM        sys.objects AS o
INNER JOIN  sys.syscomments AS c
ON      o.object_id = c.id
WHERE   o.[type] = 'TR'

I had the same task recently and I used the following for sql server 2012 db. Use management studio and connect to the database you want to search. Then execute the following script.

Select 
[tgr].[name] as [trigger name], 
[tbl].[name] as [table name]

from sysobjects tgr 

join sysobjects tbl
on tgr.parent_obj = tbl.id

WHERE tgr.xtype = 'TR'

SELECT
   ServerName   = @@servername,
   DatabaseName = db_name(),
   SchemaName   = isnull( s.name, '' ),
   TableName    = isnull( o.name, 'DDL Trigger' ),
   TriggerName  = t.name, 
   Defininion   = object_definition( t.object_id )

FROM sys.triggers t
   LEFT JOIN sys.all_objects o
      ON t.parent_id = o.object_id
   LEFT JOIN sys.schemas s
      ON s.schema_id = o.schema_id
ORDER BY 
   SchemaName,
   TableName,
   TriggerName
