| Note they are all objects that contain text.OBJECT_DEFINITION applies to the following object types:C = Check constraintD = Default (constraint or stand-alone)P = SQL stored procedureFN = SQL scalar functionR = Rule RF = Replication filter procedureTR = SQL trigger (schema-scoped DML trigger, or DDL trigger at either the database or server scope)IF = SQL inline table-valued functionTF = SQL table-valued functionV = View==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
