Why Before Trigger should not have DML for other objects

if you update or delete a record in its before trigger, or delete a record in its after trigger, you will receive a runtime error.

This includes both direct and indirect operations.

For example, if you update account A, and the before update trigger of account A inserts contact B, and the after insert trigger of contact B queries for account A and updates it using the DML update statement or database method, then you are indirectly updating account A in its before trigger, and you will receive a runtime error.

  1. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  7. Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with
    experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  8. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
    though you relied on the video to make your point.

    on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be
    giving us something informative to read?

    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  10. Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform
    you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future
