TIL: SQLite triggers. I've been doing some work with SQLite triggers recently while working on sqlite-chronicle, and I decided I needed a single reference to exactly which triggers are executed for which SQLite actions and what data is available within those triggers.
I wrote this triggers.py script to output as much information about triggers as possible, then wired it into a TIL article using Cog. The Cog-powered source code for the TIL article can be seen here.
