But I tried with different tables/columns and collations, and it never failed ...

sys.objects.name is (on my server) Latin1_General_BIN, and "where name = ('sysrscols' collate Latvian_CS_AI_KS) collate French_CI_AS" does not fail...

Why then does this works in SQL Server 2022:

select *

from sys.objects

where name = ('sysrscols' collate French_CI_AS) collate French_CI_AS;

and also

select *

from sys.objects

where name = ('sysrscols' collate Latvian_CS_AI_KS) collate French_CI_AS;

Good article.

I find this type of wrong triggers in a lot of databases.

I also start with adding "set nocount on" at the start of each trigger.

Otherwise, an update/insert/delete statement also...

I changed the code and made it a stored procedure in my dba database.

I also added a filter to list only enabled jobs.

I have this version, and it does NOT support compression :

How can I send you the adapted script ?

You can easely resolve the "unique" problem by adding a distinct to the select top().

I tried this, and it works fine on SQL 2005. The distinct will not generate an...

[font="Courier New"]I suppose there is only 1 customer, and 1 or more subcustoerms. This query would do the job :

DECLARE @docHandle int

DECLARE @doc varchar(1000)

SET @doc ='

Here is an exemple : ( but 53 becomes AZ ?! )

create function dbo.fn_conv ( @number int )

returns varchar(3)

Strange XML ... But you can  do it like this :

SELECT *

FROM   OPENXML (@docHandle, '/ShipmentHeader',2)

I use my stored procedure sp__droptable to test existance of a table ( also temp table ) and ropt it.

You can use sp__droptable '#tmp'.

Do not forget that the inserted table can have multiple rows.

You should test this !

INTO : only for first select

UNION : If distinct is needed, do not use UNION ALL, but use UNION

Correct syntax is :

SELECT DISTINCT Column1 AS Name

INTO            New_Table

FROM         Old_Table

UNION

SELECT DISTINCT Column2 AS...

your demand is not very clear ( what is first? ), but this script could be a start :

set nocount on

use tempdb

if object_id('ori') is not null drop table ori

if object_id('TableA')...
