SHOW CREATE TRIGGER

Syntax

SHOW CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name

Description

This statement shows a CREATE TRIGGER statement that creates the given trigger, as well as the SQL_MODE that was used when the trigger has been created and the character set used by the connection.

The TRIGGER privilege is required on the table the trigger is defined for to execute this statement.

SHOW CREATE TRIGGER quotes identifiers according to the value of the sql_quote_show_create system variable. Prior to MariaDB 10.6.5, MariaDB 10.5.13 and MariaDB 10.4.22, the output of this statement was unreliably affected by the sql_quote_show_create system variable.
