so here we are inserting the details in each table employee nd department seperately.. Dat also
could be done through any procedure ri8? then were we inserting in view emp_dept_join ? i mean
what is the use of this instead of trigger to insert into view(emp_dept_join)? if we are inswrting
data to each table seperarely..

every time we try to update/insert (any DML) a complex view ( which is generally not possible)
this trigger will fire and update/insert the respective tables from which the view is created with the
values given to insert/update.
