-When a record is inserted in the table that record will be there on INSERTED Magic table.
-When a record is updated in the table that existing record will be there on DELETED Magic table and modified data will be there in INSERTED Magic table.
-When a record is deleted from that table that record will be there on DELETED Magic table.
