    Can the same guid appear more than once??

  • RE: Urgent: Can someone help me get past this error?

    Instead of disabling the trigger, which would affect all row updates, of course, you might want to consider using CONTEXT_INFO() to selectively bypass trigger processing just for your updates.

    For example:

    At a minimum, you need to look at missing index stats and usage stats. (Beyond min, you would include sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats.)
