nested triggers Option
Use the nested triggers option to control whether an AFTER trigger can cascade; that is, perform an action that initiates another trigger, which initiates another trigger, and so on. When nested triggers is set to 0, AFTER triggers cannot cascade. When nested triggers is set to 1 (the default), AFTER triggers can cascade to as many as 32 levels. INSTEAD OF triggers can be nested regardless of the setting of this option.
The setting takes effect immediately, without a server restart.
