Triggers are routines that are "FIRED" or started automatically when a certian action takes place..such as a DELETE operation or an INSERT operation. U can write a trigger and associate it with table for a delete operation for example..so whenever a delete takes place on the table the TRIGGER routine will fire and get executed.
Triggers can be used to maintain refrential integrity. For example deleting children records when a parent record is deleted!
