   No, they're not there. They are listed within each table node, along with   
   the columns,keys, constraints and indexes.   
   I guess the thinking is that they are table objects, not database objects,   
   so just as you don't have a node to show all the indexes in the database,   
   neither do you have a node to show all triggers. You have to expand the   
   individual table nodes.

   No. If you right-click a trigger  in the Triggers node and select New   
   Trigger, it will open a query window with the script from a trigger-creation   
   template.
