I am not sure I understand the explanation.

I would expect to find a row for the trigger in sys.all_objects, if it is said to be stored as an "object" in the master database. But sys.all_objects does not contain the server scoped triggers.

Why is that?

Best Regards,

The BOL entry for sys.all_objects says:

"Shows the UNION of all schema-scoped user-defined objects and system objects."

Server-scoped DDL triggers are not schema-scoped.

Another lesson not learned about reading the question and answers carefully.

You can obtain info by querying sys.triggers but they are only stored as objects on the master database. I got too excited and chose true/true... oops!

I'll call this karma... 😉

Good thing MSDN is not blacked out.

For some reason I thought the question was about database scoped triggers even though it clearly says server scoped. Brain not fully engaged yet. Good question.

Great question.

I guess it's just a little too early for the brain to be attempting to operate 100%. That's what I get for attempting to answer without some caffeine pumping yet.

Everything is awesome!

Server-scoped DDL triggers are not schema-scoped.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Maybe I misread the question...probably, but I found this on TechNet and still got the answer wrong. Oh well, learned another one the hard way 🙂

Server-scoped DDL triggers are stored as objects in the master database. However, you can obtain information about server-scoped DDL triggers by querying the sys.server_triggers catalog view in any database context.

I got it right for the "wrong" reason: I reasoned that 2 had to be false, because nothing is stored in a view. A view is by definition a mechanism to access data stored elsewhere.

My only disappointment is that 49% have got this right!

I was hoping for less.

Well, Idexed views are stored in the db. Can't blame you for using this reasoning, though.
