Hi everybody,
I have written a trigger for a table, but i want to execute that when the system date is equal to the date that given.

I know trigger can work in insert, update, delete.
So is there any possible way to execute the trigger with the date check.Please help me.

Thanking you.

Please think about an SQL Server JOB, instead of Triggers, when may help you to resolve your challenge

No, there's not. You'd have to write a service or something else to check the date.

Trigger word itself says that something happens when a certain event occurs. In DB world it can be, Insert, Update or Delete.

Based on your condition, they are not related to either of the three events that can call a trigger. Thus, it would not be called.
As suggested by CG, you need to have a Windows Service or some kind of Scheduler that will check for the specified condition and execute certain queries.
