Possible? Yes, if the SQL Server machine can access the disk where the
file is. But, no, go there. A trigger is part of transaction, and should
leave as little footprint as possible. Running around and updating files
on a client is a poor idea.
Rather, I would suggest that you look into query notification. You can
submit a query, and then specify that you want to be notified when the
query changes. This requires SQL 2005 and ADO .Net 2.0. I'm not going
to show any examples here, but please look in Books Online.
I will have to admit that I not entirely convinced that this is a good
idea. I would probably get the XML from the database each time. But
that's your call.
