Hi – I searched the blog and other sources but could not find a way to do this:
Disable all the triggers on a specific table when a specific user is doing a specific maintenance task within the context of a .NET application.

Any ideas gratefully received…

Thanks

Jerry

– Include the schema:

DECLARE @string VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @tableName NVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @Name NVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE cur CURSOR
FOR SELECT sys.objects.name as tbname, sys.schemas.name FROM sys.objects INNER JOIN sys.schemas ON sys.objects.schema_id = sys.schemas.schema_id
WHERE sys.objects.object_id IN(SELECT parent_obj FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype=’tr’)
OPEN cur
FETCH next FROM cur INTO @tableName, @Name
WHILE @@fetch_status = 0
BEGIN
SET @string =’Alter table ‘+ @Name +’.’ +@tableName + ‘ Disable trigger all’
EXEC (@string)
FETCH next FROM cur INTO @tableName, @Name
END
CLOSE cur
DEALLOCATE cur
GO

How do we get the altered table name, time of altered, using trigger.

sp_msforeachtable “ALTER TABLE ? DISABLE TRIGGER all”
sp_msforeachtable “ALTER TABLE ? ENABLE TRIGGER all”

This one is good, as written by rohit

You can use
However note that they are all undocumented and may be removed from future release of SQL Server

How about using this
sp_msforeachtable “ALTER TABLE ? DISABLE TRIGGER all”
sp_msforeachtable “ALTER TABLE ? ENABLE TRIGGER all”

I think the above(DISABLE ALL TRIGGERS ON THE TABLE) can also be deone with ALTER TABLE statement also.

In the cursor, you may want to use the system view “sys.Triggers” to get a list of triggers in the context of the current database rather than the outdated SQL 2000 style of using sysobjects. sysobjects is only for backward compatibility with 2000 and should be avoided on any new development. At the very least – if you did not want to use sys.triggers then you should be using sys.objects on SQL 2005 and 2008.
If development is on a 2000 instance then sysobjects is the way to go in order to get a list of triggers.

For 2005 and 2008 you could use
SELECT QUOTENAME(OBJECT_NAME(parent_id)) AS tbName from sys.triggers

But this does not take into account tables that exist within other schemas other than dbo. You will just receive an error if you run that code on triggers within other schemas.
