[sql-server] Disable Enable Trigger SQL server for a table

I want to create one proc like below but it has error on syntax. Could anyone pointing out the problem?

Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[my_proc] AS

BEGIN

DISABLE TRIGGER dbo.tr_name ON dbo.table_name

-- some update statement

ENABLE TRIGGER dbo.tr_name  ON dbo.table_name

END

** Error Message : Incorrect syntax near 'ENABLE'.

As Mark mentioned, the previous statement should be ended in semi-colon. So you can use:

; DISABLE TRIGGER dbo.tr_name ON dbo.table_name

After the ENABLE TRIGGER OR DISABLE TRIGGER in a new line write GO, Example:

DISABLE TRIGGER dbo.tr_name ON dbo.table_name

GO
-- some update statement

ENABLE TRIGGER dbo.tr_name  ON dbo.table_name

GO

The line before needs to end with a ; because in SQL DISABLE is not a keyword. For example:

BEGIN
;
DISABLE TRIGGER ...

Below is the Dynamic Script to enable or disable the Triggers.

select 'alter table '+ (select Schema_name(schema_id) from sys.objects o 
where o.object_id = parent_id) + '.'+object_name(parent_id) + ' ENABLE TRIGGER '+
Name as EnableScript,*
from sys.triggers t 
where is_disabled = 1

if you want to execute ENABLE TRIGGER Directly From Source :

we can't write like this:

Conn.Execute "ENABLE TRIGGER trigger_name ON table_name"

instead, we can write :

Conn.Execute "ALTER TABLE table_name DISABLE TRIGGER trigger_name"

I wanted to share something that helped me out. Idea credit goes to @Siavash and @Shahab Naseer.

I needed something where I could script disable and re enable of triggers for a particular table. I normally try and stay away from tiggers, but sometimes they could be good to use.

I took the script above and added a join to the sysobjects so I could filter by table name. This script will disable a trigger or triggers for a table.

select 'alter table '+ (select Schema_name(schema_id) from sys.objects o 
where o.object_id = parent_id) + '.'+object_name(parent_id) + ' ENABLE TRIGGER '+ t.Name as EnableScript,*
from sys.triggers t 
INNER JOIN dbo.sysobjects DS ON DS.id = t.parent_id 
where is_disabled = 0 AND DS.name = 'tblSubContact'

Below is the simplest way

Try the code

ALTER TRIGGER trigger_name DISABLE

That's it :)
