In a nutshell, what are pros and cons of using triggers in MySQL? Yet I have not ever used neither triggers nor stored procedures in MySQL, so I’m used to solve any task I have using PHP for business logic and SQL for CRUD.
Now I’ve got a task to save table’s history and thinking of usage of triggers for this purpose. So, the sub-question is: are triggers good for this particular task?
In short: (pros/cons of triggers vs implementing functionality in code, e.g. php)
Pros: easier to implement audit/history
Cons: harder to debug issues
