Note that setting the default schema will also affect other database objects, such as sequences.

## Table triggers

You can use the Fluent API to specify that a database trigger exists for a table:

[!code-csharp[HasTrigger](../../../samples/core/Miscellaneous/NewInEFCore7/SaveChangesPerformanceSample.cs?name=HasTrigger)]

Calling `HasTrigger` only registers the trigger in the EF model. EF migrations don't create the trigger in the database; add the trigger DDL to a migration using [`migrationBuilder.Sql`](xref:core/managing-schemas/migrations/managing#arbitrary-changes-via-raw-sql).
