Hi Manish,

This query

select name as tbname from sysobjects where id in(select parent_obj from sysobjects where xtype=’tr’)

that you have used to retrieve the list of tables in the database is not correct.

The query you have provided will include tables and views and the Alter table statement will not work with a view.

I would use the following query to retrieve just the table names.

select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_type = ‘base table’

Thanks

Hi Pinal,

I am a beginner. In an interview I have been asked how to know whether a trigger is working ? or how to know whether the trigger will be fired at the correct time?

Hi all,

To enable & disable all the triggers and constraints we have a system defined Stored Proc

Print ‘Disabling all Constraints’
exec sp_MSforeachtable ‘ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL’

Print ‘Disabling all Triggers’
exec sp_MSforeachtable ‘ALTER TABLE ? DISABLE TRIGGER ALL’

Print ‘Enabling all Constraints’
exec sp_MSforeachtable ‘ALTER TABLE ? CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL’

Print ‘Enabling all Triggers’
exec sp_MSforeachtable ‘ALTER TABLE ? ENABLE TRIGGER ALL’

I hope this helps.

Thanks
Vishal Kapoor

Good Day! I’m a beginner with regards to triggers. Currently, I’ve already created a couple of triggers that are working just fine. But my problem is that one of our clients bought a new server. They want to transfer some databases in the new server and that would affect the triggers that are currently working. Is it possible for the trigger to work in different servers? What will be the syntax for that?
Thanks in advance.

hi Mr Dave
i’ve seen your articles and are great, i need to create a script which will calculate a value based on previous value i.e ID Depreciation
51004 0
54796 0
58585 -19079.347
62466 -113.57
66291 -113.57
70143 -113.57
74025 -113.57
77933 -113.57
81849 -113.57
on my script i need to calculate a Accummulative Depreciation on another field and the rule is on the first entry the Depreciation will remain the same, the second entry should take the value from the prevous entry add it to the current entry i.e for ID 51004 and 54796 AccumDepr will be 0 cause there’s no Depreciation value this id 58585 should equal to 19079.347 cause there’s no previous depr, and on ID 62466 my AccumDepr should be (-19079.347) + (-113.57) = -19192.91 and the next ID should be -19192.91 + -113.57 = -19306.48 and so forth…

To disable all the trigger of current database.

CREATE Procedure [dbo].[DisableAllTriggers]

AS
Declare @string varchar(8000)
Declare @tableName nvarchar(500)
Declare cur cursor
for select name as tbname from sysobjects where id in(select parent_obj from sysobjects where xtype=’tr’)
open cur
fetch next from cur into @tableName
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
set @string =’Alter table ‘+ @tableName + ‘ Disable trigger all’
exec (@string)
Fetch next from cur into @tableName
end
close cur
deallocate cur

Hi Pinal
We use SQL Server 2000. I created a trigger, trying to update a field after a record is inserted.

How would

DISABLE TRIGGER Person.uAddress ON AdventureWorks;

disable all triggers on a database? Person.uAddress is right there
