I want to enable two trace flags, 4199 and 4137, for a single query. How should I do this:
-- A SELECT a.AddressID , a.AddressLine1 , a.AddressLine2 , a.City , a.StateProvinceID , a.PostalCode , p.FirstName , p.LastName FROM Person.Address a INNER JOIN person.Person AS p ON p.rowguid = a.rowguid WHERE City = 'SEATTLE' AND PostalCode = 98104 OPTION (QUERYTRACEON 4199, 4137); -- B SELECT a.AddressID , a.AddressLine1 , a.AddressLine2 , a.City , a.StateProvinceID , a.PostalCode , p.FirstName , p.LastName FROM Person.Address a INNER JOIN person.Person AS p ON p.rowguid = a.rowguid WHERE City = 'SEATTLE' AND PostalCode = 98104 OPTION (QUERYTRACEON 4199, QUERYTRACEON 4137); -- C SELECT a.AddressID , a.AddressLine1 , a.AddressLine2 , a.City , a.StateProvinceID , a.PostalCode , p.FirstName , p.LastName FROM Person.Address a INNER JOIN person.Person AS p ON p.rowguid = a.rowguid WHERE City = 'SEATTLE' AND PostalCode = 98104 OPTION (QUERYTRACEON 4199), (QUERYTRACEON 4137);See possible answers
