Which is an example of a LOGON trigger?
Using a logon trigger, we can restrict a user connecting to SQL Server for a certain time frame. In this example, I want to restrict login “testuser” to only connect to SQL Server between 10am and 6pm. First, I am going to create the SQL Login “testuser”.
When does logon fail due to trigger execution?
When testuser tries to login any time except between 10am – 6pm then the user session will be rolled back. On my machine, the time is 08:45am and I am going to try login with the testuser login. We can see, I am not able to connect and get the error ” Logon failed for login ‘testuser’ due to trigger execution “.
What are the different types of triggers in SQL Server?

How to track logon and logout activity in Oracle?
You would enable auditing in the database and audit connects. This will record the login/logout activity into the audit trail. The audit trail is either a database table OR the system event log (OS specific as to where that is). If you are using the database table, creating a flat file is trivial (simple query and spool from sqlplus).
Is there an alternative to auditing a logon?
As an alternative to auditing logons/logoffs, you might as well create LOGON and LOGOFF triggers that populate a regular history table. I myself prefer it. It’s far simpler:
What should the transaction count be for a LOGON trigger?
Therefore, when the first logon trigger starts firing, the transaction count is 1. After all the logon triggers finish executing, the transaction commits. As with other types of triggers, SQL Server returns an error if a logon trigger finishes execution with a transaction count of 0.
Why is my trigger not registering in power automate?
