form the docs:

<doc>
You may apply triggers on the "disconnected node " to do additional
processing on the data

For instance, you might take a fairly "stateful" database and turn it
into a "temporal" one by use of triggers that implement the techniques
described in [Developing Time-Oriented Database Applications in SQL ] by
Richard T. Snodgrass.

Another cool use is in data warehousing and OLAP applications where the
shipped logs, together with rules/triggers can be used to create all
kinds of materialized views.
