    What would happen if I perform a DML update operation on the before update trigger of the same sObject record in Salesforce?

    Hi Prachi,

    When the trigger is fired there is a before and after, the before is used to update the current record without stating any DML. since the record is open for update/Insert. if you specify any DML during the before action, you will receive an Exception "You cannot Update and Active Entity".
