    could it be someone was cleaning up data and used a REPLACE without a WHERE statement?

    the rowversion gets incrmeneted even thought here was no "real" change:

    Looks like doing something stupid like running an update and setting a field to the value that already exists does this too, I'm bugging my devs more, but of course no one wants to fess up.

    Consider that almost 100% of updates sprocs don't look to see if the values have changed. If they did they would be horrible to write and they would be super slow.

    create MyUpdateProc

    (

    @Col1 varchar(10),

    @ID int

    ) as

    update MyTable

    set Col1 = @Col1

    where ID = @ID

    The above is a super simplified typical update sproc. This would cause the rowversion to be modified.
