sql server programming: I have a table with a date time column. I need an external program to
be triggered exactly when the date time is reached. Any suggestions on
the best approach for this?

I guess you need to make use of DTS package and xp_cmdshell for this task.

Matey, I think that triggers can only happen on
inserts/updates/deletes. I may be wrong. What exactly is it you want to
achieve?

You can configure a SQL Agent job to execute your external program and
change the job execution time based on whatever logic you like.
