  • RE: trigger is not firing on a table

    Yes, "Valued Member", that is basically correct, you do not use parameters like that in a trigger in SQL Server.

    Do you really need/want two separate scripts? You can do this in one (complex) date computation:

    *,

  • RE: trigger is not firing on a table

    The trigger is firing. You must keep in mind that SQL Server only fires a trigger once per statement, no matter how many rows are INSERTed (UPDATEd or DELETEd).

    Therefore,...

    To check for anything other than only digits (0 thru 9), use:

    I guess rename one of them. But better to avoid using temp tables in a trigger unless absolutely necessary.

  • RE: How to name a column the same name of a tablename

    You can use system procedure:

    sp_rename

    to rename a column. The general format is like this:

    EXEC sp_rename 'table_name.existing_column_name', 'new_column_name', 'COLUMN'
