Or the simple version:

declare @strSQL nvarchar(4000)

DECLARE @EmpName varchar(100)

Set @EmpName = '"Frank Smith", "John Doe"'

set @strSQL = 'SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE EmpName IN (' + @EmpName + ')'

exec sp_executesql @strSQL

No enough info.  Please post the code for your trigger.  There are some clever people on this site and the cursor may not be necessary after all.

To disable a trigger,...

OK - getting there.  I think you want something like this:

SELECT t1.dest_bol_no,   

       t1.rev_no,   

       t1.comm_code,

Can you provide some sample data - just the relevant fields - and show also your desired output? ...

OK - but there must be some circumstances under which you want the rows from TABLE_b, otherwise why bother with the UNION in the first place?

I can't see any catastrophes on the horizon, but you should of course write the appropriate script and run it on a backup copy of the db just to make...

The first UNION that you did filtered out the second row because it was identical to the first.  Your second UNION has rows which are not identical - so they...

Me neither - can't you just give them a longer description?  This is building complexity that seems over the top.  Are your users particularly (hmmm, what's a nice way of...

I don't think it's as simple as just clicking a 'process all files in folder' check box - unfortunately.

Here's an article that might be of use to you though -...

OK - I think I was on the right track except for the JOIN:

CREATE PROCEDURE sproc_getTestRequest
