CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[T_my_items]

            ON [dbo].[my_items]

FOR UPDATE

                        AS

IF

Hi Techies,
I am used to Mysql triggers but right now am needed to create a MSSQl trigger that does the following I have a table my_items
that has a column/field called sent_items and received_items such that if the recieved item is yes the trigger will update the sent items as yes
where the id is maintained to allow only required updates

Regards
