+.5 I avoid triggers for the most part. But there are some instances where they are useful. "Databases are for relational data storage" is too strict a rule to live by. An application such as an interface between 2 DBs could be built entirely with T-SQL. I wouldn't want to bring in another tool and increase the level of complexity just to conform to some rule.
