Pemicu

Pemicu is a term used in the Indonesian language meaning "trigger" or "stimulant." It functions as a general noun for something that initiates a reaction, action, or sequence of events. The term is used across disciplines, and is often translated into English as trigger or catalyst.

In information technology and databases, a pemicu (trigger) is a program object that automatically runs in response to events on a table or view, such as insert, update, or delete. Pemicu help enforce rules, maintain data integrity, audit changes, and automate tasks. They are defined in languages such as SQL or PL/SQL and may fire before or after the triggering event.

In psychology and medicine, pemicu refers to stimuli that provoke a response. Emotional, physical, or behavioral triggers can shape reactions; identifying pemicu is a common part of therapy and pain management, enabling clinicians and patients to anticipate and cope with responses.

In everyday Indonesian usage, pemicu describes factors that prompt behavior, decisions, or outcomes—for example environmental cues, marketing prompts, or safety reminders. While its usage is broad, it remains most common in technical and clinical contexts.
