    The DECLARE for the cursor is incorrect: you need to remove the @ from before "@job_name":

    DECLARE job_cursor CURSOR READ_ONLY FOR
    SELECT job_name,[enable] --<<--
    FROM #JobsToDisableEnable

    Also, in the EXEC, you...

    Please don't use reserved words like "COUNT" and "TIME" for column names.

    Please don't state that "COUNT" and "TIME" are reserved words in SQL Server because they are not.

  • Reply To: Quick Question on 2019 to older version?

    In fact, you cannot restore any newer-version SQL Server db to any older-version SQL instance, period.  Just does not work.

    You're not going to be able to this calculation:

    ISRECNUM % 20 = 5

    sargable.  By definition, it just isn't.

    Absolutely correct.  McAfee could end up damaging your db files, esp. log files.
