A DBMS trigger is not associated with any table or view, and fires on modifications to the database structure itself, such as the creation or dropping of a table or events like startup, shutdown, login etc.
In the PowerDesigner interface, table and view triggers are called simply triggers, while DDL or database triggers are called DBMS triggers. DBMS triggers are not supported by all DBMSs.
DBMS triggers can use trigger templates and trigger template items, just like table and view triggers see Trigger Templates (PDM).
