SQL Server Triggers, Views, Stored Procedures & Functions

Explore and Document All SQL Server Database Objects

Sirkel Triggers, Views, Stored Procedures & Functions gives you a complete overview of all important SQL Server database objects in one structured interface. Easily browse, analyze, and document your database logic without writing queries manually.

This tool is essential for developers, analysts, and database administrators who need full visibility into database behavior and logic.

What Does This Feature Do?

Centralizes all database objects in one view

  • Displays all Triggers, Views, Stored Procedures, and Functions
  • Shows detailed definitions and metadata
  • Allows quick inspection of database logic
  • Provides export and documentation capabilities

Triggers

Triggers are automatically executed SQL statements when specific events occur (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).

With Sirkel you can:

  • View trigger names and linked tables
  • Identify trigger events and timing
  • Inspect full trigger definitions
  • Understand database automation logic

List columns and description in the grid:

ColumnMeaning
Trigger_nameName of the trigger.
TableWhich table does this trigger affect.
ActivationAt what time does this trigger run.
EventDML triggers are executed when a user attempts to modify data through a Data Manipulation Language (DML) event. DML events are INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements on a table or view.
ClassDML (Data Modification Language) triggers.
This is the most commonly used class of triggers. In this case, the trigger event is a data change statement; it can be an insert, update, or delete statement, either in a table or in a view.
TypeThere are three types of triggers: Data Manipulation Language (DML) triggers Data Definition Language (DDL) triggers Login triggers.
StatusDeactivated or active.
DefinitionTrigger source code. When you click on the icon on the right, following form will be shown: You will see the full detail.

Views

Views are virtual tables based on SQL queries.

With Sirkel you can:

  • See how views are constructed
  • Analyze underlying queries
  • Review creation dates and metadata
  • Copy full SQL definitions
ColumnMeaning
View_nameName of the view

Stored procedures are reusable SQL scripts stored in the database.

With Sirkel you can:

  • Browse all procedures quickly
  • Inspect parameters and logic
  • View full SQL code
  • Understand business logic implementation

The list will show the following columns in the grid and giving an overview of all procedures defined in the database:
