SQL SERVER – A Simple Quiz – T-SQL Brain Trick

Today we are going to have very simple and interesting question.

Run following T-SQL Code in SSMS. There are total of five lines. Three T-SQL statements separated by two horizontal lines.

SELECT MAX(OBJECT_ID) FROM sys.objects
______________________________________
SELECT MIN(OBJECT_ID) FROM sys.objects
______________________________________
SELECT COUNT(OBJECT_ID) FROM sys.objects


Now when you execute individual lines only it will give you error as

Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure '______________________________________'.

However, when you executed all the five statement together it will give you following resultset.

What is the reason of the same?

Please leave your comment as answer. I will discuss the answer of this question on tomorrow’s office hours.
