Hi,
Is there a way to SET ANSI NULLS OFF for specific objects in a database.

For example, i want to set the ANSI NULLS OFF for all the table valued functions in a db. Is there a simple way of doing it ?. Currently i have to run scripts for each and every function individually.

Thanks,

This is a truly awful idea. Why no learn to write real SQL and not try to create your own DB language on the fly?

There were some functions that were migrated from SQL 2005 to SS 2008. In Sql2005 they had ANSI NULLS OFF, but when they were migrated to SQL 2008 somehow they were SET TO ON. So i have to set it OFF again.

Best suggestion I can think of is to generate the scripts for the objects (to clipboard or new query window) and then so a find/replace from "SET ANSI_NULLS ON" to "SET ANSI_NULLS OFF". If you right-click the database in Management Studio and choose Tasks|Generate Scripts... you can figure it out from there.
