Which clause allows you to specify the order of execution for multiple triggers on the same event in PostgreSQL?
AORDER BY
BFOLLOWS
CWHEN
DBEFORE
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify ordering clause for triggers

    PostgreSQL uses the FOLLOWS clause to specify that one trigger should run after another.
  2. Step 2: Confirm correct clause usage

    ORDER BY is for queries, WHEN is for conditions, BEFORE is timing, so FOLLOWS is correct.
  3. Final Answer:

    FOLLOWS -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Trigger order control = FOLLOWS clause [OK]
Quick Trick: Use FOLLOWS to set trigger execution order explicitly [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing ORDER BY with trigger order
  • Using WHEN to control execution order
  • Thinking BEFORE controls order instead of timing
