I have the following question on triggers:

What will be the order of rows returned when a SELECT is done on the deleted and inserted tables ?

For eg.

SELECT * from deleted
SELECT * from inserted

Does the "SELECT * from deleted" and the "SELECT * from inserted" return the rows in the same order?

In this way it is possible to know that for an update, the first row in the deleted table(with old values for the row) corresponds to the first row in the inserted table(with the new values for the same row).

It is possible to know the mapping between the deleted and inserted tables with primary keys. But what if there are no primary keys.

Your reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance."
