Triggers vs. computed columns
While continuing your analysis of the database, you find two other interesting objects:
The table
SalesWithPricehas a column that calculates theTotalAmountasQuantity * Price. This is done using a computed column which uses columns from the same table for the calculation.The trigger
SalesCalculateTotalAmountwas created on theSalesWithoutPricetable. ThePricecolumn is not part of theSalesWithoutPricetable, so a computed column cannot be used for theTotalAmount. The trigger overcomes this limitation by using thePricecolumn from theProductstable.
