I have a view called view_badge and a table called t_badge.
Both the table and the view have the same structure
create table t_badge
YEAR (varchar(12),not null),
STU_CODE (varchar(12) primary key,not null),
JOIN_CODE (varchar(12),not null),
FORENAME1 (varchar(30),null),
FORENAME2 (varchar(30),null),
SURNAME (varchar(40),null),
DOB (datetime,null)
COURSE (varchar(18),not null),
END_DATE (datetime,null))
how would a create an update trigger on view_badge to update t_badge on updates to view_badge.

I'm not sure what you mean? If you update the view, it updates the table. The view is just a window into the table, there is nothing in the view to update.

If you need a trigger, then create it on the table and when someone updates the view, which updates the table, the trigger will fire.

The view is not created from the table,

The table is created from the view.

So i created the table then inserted the data from the view.

I have a script which fires every minutes if there any any new rows.

The table is created from the view.

So what's view based on? Another table? Several tables?

The view is based on several tables

Keep in mind that this only works when the view is updated and not the underlying table changes that make up the view. If you need to track the changes made to the underlying tables that make up the view you will have to create multiple triggers, one on each table, and/or just create a procedure to handle everything.

IF OBJECT_ID('tr_view_badge') IS NOT NULL

DROP TRIGGER tr_view_badge

go

create trigger tr_view_badge

on view_badge

instead of insert, update, delete

as

BEGIN

DECLARE @action CHAR(1)

IF(EXISTS(SELECT * FROM inserted) AND EXISTS(SELECT * FROM deleted))

SET @action = 'U'

ELSE IF(EXISTS(SELECT * FROM inserted))

SET @action = 'I'

ELSE IF(EXISTS(SELECT * FROM deleted))

SET @action = 'D'

IF @action IS NULL

return

--Do what you need to the table based on the action

END

GO
