审计表更新触发器使用存储过程不起作用

Question

I have table tblA

Which has a trigger defined on it, if any rows are updated it writes the changes to an audit table.

Now if on SQL Server I right click and edit a row directly, I see changes go to the audit table.

If I call a stored procedure to do an update, I do see tblA updated but the changed values do not go into the audit table. It seems like the trigger does not get fired at all.

What difference is there between directly editing a table or updating through a stored procedurein term of the trigger being fired.

Example OF stored procedure which does not cause trigger to fire:

OK I'm going crazy but if I Run this very simpple stored procedure directly in DB tirgger gets fired. But if I run from my C# web, Stored procedure will run since tblSurvey gets updated but trigger wont get fired.

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spUpdateSurveyDataTest]


AS
BEGIN

Update tblSurvey

Set 
[s1FirstName]='YES TRIGGER WORKS  for sureYES'
Where Survey_Id=327


END

Answer 1

Your trigger only fires on updates and deletes which is why it fired when you edited the table. The stored procedure is performing an insert which is undetected by your trigger. Your trigger should be for INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE .

Answer 2

The point of matter was as I mentioned in the question:

Trigger could not be run from App but I was able to fire it directly from a database update.

The problem was application was connecting to DB with its own generic User which did not have Execute permission for Trigger.

To make things more complicated there was no exception at application level.

The fix was to add

WITH EXECUTE AS OWNER 

To the trigger.
