Thanks Brandie. I even like that you posted the script using dbcc timewarp. Notice the publish date is July 24, 2012.:-D

Thanks for the script - I'm sure it'll come in handy. One FYI though: the dynamic SQL didn't handle collation conflicts (doggone that ReportServer db... <grin>).
Cheers,

Ken, what conflicts? Could you give me more details (and error messages) please?

I apologize - I'd run the script as a script rather than a stored procedure (some servers I manage don't have a utility db to create procedures in) and it errored on the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDb collation. Running it as a procedure on a server that I [could] create the procedure on ran just fine.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Excuse me a moment.

That's okay. No harm done.

Thanks for taking that so gracefully. Here's the script and the errors, one for ReportServer and one for ReportServerTempDB.

The interesting thing is that I have those collations and I have the Report dbs on my production server and my script works just fine.
I always develop my scripts in SSMS without the stored procedure creation part to make sure they work and I never hit that error, so I don't know what's different between our servers.
July 24, 2012 at 7:54 am
Yeah, I do the same thing. I found it odd as well because I use dynamic SQL to traverse a database list regularly. It caught me by surprise so I thought I'd pass it back to you in case others may have run into the same thing.
It's not a big deal and easy to fix. Honestly I figured I'd torqued it up when I did the sp-to-script conversion... <grin>
Anyway, thanks for the script. I appreciate it and will definitely use it.
Cheers,
Ken
