An AFTER INSERT trigger may not work correctly after you apply the fix documented in 975950

Article ID: 2508239 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You have an instance of either SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2.
On this instance you apply the hotfix documented in the following KB article
975950
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;975950 )
FIX: Error message when you run an SSIS 2005 or SSIS 2008 package that uses the IBM DB2 OLE DB provider to export data to an IBM DB2 server: "The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified. Out of memory"

In this scenario, if you have a SSIS package that inserts data into a table using ‘Table or View’ direct access mode, an AFTER INSERT trigger having an UNION clause and defined on the destination table may insert only one row instead of multiple rows.

CAUSE

This occurs because SSIS incorrectly calls “SET ROWCOUNT 1” on the session that is executing the INSERT AFTER trigger. This causes the trigger to prematurely stop execution after it inserts the first row.

RESOLUTION

To workaround the problem do the following in the OLE DB Destination editor:

Use 'Table or view - fast load' option.
In the Advanced Editor dialog box, go to the Component Properties tab and in the FastLoadOptions add the value 'FIRE_TRIGGERS'

For additional information refer to the following topic in SQL Server Books Online:

MORE INFORMATION

Example: The following trigger uses UNION clause to inserts multiple rows in the destination table (MyTable)

ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[MyTrigger]
   ON  [dbo].[MyTable] 
   AFTER INSERT AS 
BEGIN
      SET NOCOUNT ON;
      INSERT INTO dbo.MyTable (x, y)
      SELECT 7 AS x, 7 AS y UNION
      SELECT 8 AS x, 8 AS y UNION
      SELECT 9 AS x, 9 AS y 
END

Because of the problem discussed in this article, when an SSIS package inserts any row into the table, the trigger only inserts the first row (7,7) and stops execution instead of inserting 3 rows.
