I have a 3rd party program that creates some tables in my sql server
2005 database, then it does inserts on the tables. Is there a way I
could create a system level trigger that would immediately and
automatically modfiy the table structure after the table is created
(hopefully before the inserts occur)? I need to change a field from
numeric(5, 0) to numeric(15, 0).
Thanks,
Roger

No. Triggers come only in three flavors: insert, update, delete.
Contact the vendor of that program.

I'm afraid that Tom was incorrect. You can indeed to this on SQL 2005.
Whether it's a good idea with regards to your license agreement etc is
another matter. But the change appears harmless to me.
Start with looking at the CREATE TRIGGER topic in Books Online and
read about DDL triggers. The topic has links to more detailed topics.

Thanks Erland, that does look interesting. I have been experimenting
with the DDL trigger and I may get that to do something for me.
