Question

Here is the trigger that I created, when I check to see if the table “raw_agent_data_buffer” has any rows / data its empty, even after the “table raw_agent_data” received more data / inserts.

Any idea why?

USE [agents]

GO

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

GO

CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[raw_insert]
ON [dbo].[raw_agent_data]
after INSERT
AS
  BEGIN
      SET NOCOUNT ON;

      INSERT INTO agents.dbo.raw_agent_data
      SELECT i.post_id,
             i.post_name,
             i.post_data
      FROM   inserted i
  END

GO 

Answer 1

From the text in your question you are expecting rows to be added to a table called raw_agent_data_buffer.

Your trigger doesn’t add any rows to a table of that name.

It inserts to a different table agents.dbo.raw_agent_data so it should be clear why you aren’t seeing rows added to raw_agent_data_buffer
