Any idea how i can do it, mean how to script out the triggers. I know you can select * from sys.triggers.

SELECT ‘Disable Trigger ‘+name+’ On ‘+OBJECT_NAME(parent_id) FROM sys.triggers

DISABLE TRIGGER ALL ON ALL SERVER;

Like this for indexes as well

sp_MSforeachtable @command1=”print ‘?’ DBCC DBREINDEX (‘?’)”

Cheers on all the great content

To enable and disable all the trigger we can directly use

DISABLE TRIGGERS ALL ON ALL SERVER ;

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

the Procedure DisableAllTriggers works well

But Could you let me add small notice :)

we have to Add [ and ] to the table name I tried to
exceute this procedure on my database and error occured
because of my table name [References] this is a key word

set @string =’Alter table [‘+ @tableName + ‘] Disable trigger all’

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?
can you please help me…

thanks in advance.

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

DISABLE TRIGGER Person.uAddress ON AdventureWorks;

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