'CREATE TRIGGER' must be the first statement in a query batch.

  • Ok ... I'm struggling to find a way to do this without having an exec wrapped around an exec. The code is already ugly enough having this in dynamic, but until I change the way I sync all my admin db's, this is my best bet. Modified a known process out there slightly to capture DDL events, and I need to push the trigger to all databases.

    1) Why can you not check for trigger existance with OBJECT_ID? Look how I had to find it, not how I would normally do it.

    2) Without dropping/recreating the object every time, how can I use a database and create an object?

    Thanks in advance

  • 2. use xxxdb go create trigger.

    Not sure on #1

  • Steve, check where I start the EXEC ... that is what I'm doing. Unfortunately it does not work.

  • Why not use sp_msforeachdb?

    Would allow you to get that created....

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

  • I was able to resolve it with a double exec ...

  • Could you give some specifics on your solution. (double exec)

  • Simply wrap another EXEC around the existing EXEC. Just make sure you have all your single quotes setup properly.

  • Adam

    I am trying the same but getting hard time to change the single quotees i have in the trigger while wrapping double EXEC

    I am trying the same but getting hard time to change the single quotees i have in the trigger while wrapping double EXEC

    Usually easiest way is to do a find/replace on the single quote.

  • Hi Adam ,

    I am working on the same requirement and having the same error

    "'CREATE TRIGGER' must be the first statement in a query batch."

    I appreciate if you could post the amended script.

  • Just add a GO on the line before the CREATE TRIGGER.

  • Hi ,

    I am using the following code :

    DECLARE @DBNAME VARCHAR(128)

    DECLARE DBLIST_CURSOR CURSOR FOR

    SELECT NAME FROM sys.databases WHere name not in ( 'msdb','master','model','tempdb')

    OPEN DBLIST_CURSOR

    FETCH NEXT FROM DBLIST_CURSOR INTO @DBNAME

    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @ssql VARCHAR(8000)

    Set @ssql = 'USE [' + @DBNAME + ']

    go

    create trigger DDLChanges

  • Change GO for ;

  • No luck mate

  • Looks like from the previous posts that you need to add another EXEC() after the use.
