Events

An event is a change in the state of your database resulting from activities such as updating tables or creatiing functions. An event can be monitored or specified as the trigger condition for a system task.

An event is specified with a corresponding event handler, which is an operation or set of operations triggered in response to the event. Event handlers improve the security and safety of data and ease administration.
