  • RE: Can we just lock the schema rather a DB?

    Err, SQL doesn't have a built in way to 'lock' a database, so it must be something that you've built. Can you explain how you 'lock' databases?

  • RE: Must declare the scalar variable "@value4".

    You're declaring the variable outside of the dynamic SQL, hence it's out of scope inside the dynamic SQL.
