SQL SERVER 2008 TRIGGER ON CREATE TABLE

Question

Is there a way to run some function like a trigger when a table is created in the database in SQL SERVER 2008?

Answer 1

Yes, it's called a DDL trigger. The documentation for CREATE TRIGGER has a sample for DROP_SYNONYM (a very questionable choice for an example) but you'll want the CREATE_TABLE event instead. A better starting point in understanding how they work is probably here:

If you have more specific details, e.g. what exactly do you want to pass to this function (I assume you mean procedure), or what does the procedure do, we can provide more useful and specific help.
