Shared Work Spaces: Hell, Heaven, Both?

I've just finished working in my fourth shared work space. I am not a fan. The endless hallways with all these little glassed in rooms where I can see everyone, and everyone can see me, are not my favorite places. I can see white boards with content that maybe I shouldn't be seeing. There are […]

Question of the Day

Trigger Order III

I have created these triggers in SQL Server 2022:

CREATE TRIGGER triggertest_tri_1 ON dbo.triggertest FOR INSERT
AS
PRINT 'one'
GO
CREATE TRIGGER triggertest_tri_2 ON dbo.triggertest FOR INSERT
AS
PRINT 'two'
GO
I want to be sure that the trigger with "1" runs first. I decide to run this:
EXEC sp_settriggerorder@triggername = 'triggertest_tri_1', @order = 'first'
What happens?
