How can I determine if something has changed in UPDATE trigger? For example I have table named person with only one column NAME which contains value 'Mike'. If I run 

UPDATE person SET NAME = 'Mike'

how can I determine in the update trigger that nothing has changed? I know about UPDATE(col) statement, but I don't want to iterate over columns. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

sql-server t-sql triggers
