    Not sure why you'd connecting triggers and cursors. They're completely different subjects.

    But, here's a sample script that should do what you need:

  • RE: Primary Key datatype Bigint vs uniqueidentifier:

    Performance-wise, Int will be better than BigInt, and BigInt will be better than UniqueIdentifier. Less storage, less RAM, less I/O, etc., with the smaller datatypes.

  • RE: What's the best way to pass parameter into a dynamic sql in my case? Thanks.

    Try replacing this:

    EXEC sp_executeSQL @sql, @Due

    With:

    EXEC sp_executeSQL @sql, N'@Due NVARCHAR(20)', @Due

    See if that does what you need.

    That's from the missing "list the parameters" piece that I mentioned. Look at the samples, you'll see how it goes.
