How do you list all triggers in a MySQL database?

What is the command to list all triggers in a MySQL database?


The command for listing all triggers is:

show triggers;

or you can access the INFORMATION_SCHEMA table directly by:

select trigger_schema, trigger_name, action_statement
from information_schema.triggers
  • You can do this from version 5.0.10 onwards.
  • More information about the TRIGGERS table is here.

I hope following code will give you more information.

select * from information_schema.triggers where 
information_schema.triggers.trigger_schema like '%your_db_name%'

This will give you total 22 Columns in MySQL version: 5.5.27 and Above
