I have one trigger that updates records. Now i just wanted to know if we update those records with data loader. The D M L Operation code would perform or not. Because i need to update few existing records, so i developed trigger. I hope this trigger fire when record modified. But i need to update all at a time.

  • Are you asking if the data loader (or youe ETL tool of choice) fires triggers? If so, the answer is yes, they do.

Yes, Data Loader (or your ETL tool of choice) will fire triggers during mass data manipulations.

  • Can we import empty fields and update with empty data? Will it fire if we update with data. I hope it will be.

  • There is a setting in the data loader to insert null values. This will insert empty data.
