In Microsoft SQL Server :

I’ve added an insert trigger my table ACCOUNTS that does an insert into table BLAH based upon the inserted values.
The inserts come from only one place, and those happen one at a time. (By that, I mean, that there’s never two inserts in a transaction – two web users could, theoretically click submit and have their inserts done in a near-simulataneous way.)

Do I need to adapt the trigger to handle more than one row being in inserted, the special table created for triggers – or does each individual insert transaction launch the trigger separately?

    Each insert calls the trigger. However, if a single insert adds more than one row the trigger is only called once, so your trigger has to be able to handle multiple records.

    The granularity is at the INSERT statement level not at the transaction level.

    So no, if you have two transactions inserting into the same table they will each call the trigger ATOMICALLY.
