Creating A Trigger

Hallo,
I am new on this forum but I have an urgent problem. How can I

1. Create a trigger which has the following characteristics:
It should be named reorder.
It should fire after an update of the qty column on the stock table, if the new
value of qty is <= 5.
New should be referenced as n.
The triggered action should insert the values n.itemno and current timestamp
into the reorder table,
whereby when an inventory item in the STOCK table falls below a quantity of 6, the REORDER table will have a row inserted.

Any kind of help is very much appreciated.

hi jkag,

Check out the Trigger i have developed in sqlserver 2000.

sample tables used:
create table stock
(
itemid int identity(1,1) primary key,
prdname varchar(100),
qty int,
)

create table reorder
(
reoid int identity(1,1) primary key,
itemid int,
prdname varchar(100),
qty int,
currdate timestamp
)

create Trigger ReorderTrigg
on stock
for update
as
begin
insert into reorder(itemid,prdname,qty) select itemid,prdname,qty from stock where qty<=5
end
go

Go through the trigger and do let me know if it has solved ur query. If not also, pm me your problem. I shall try it. Gud Luck!

cheers,
