Symptoms
When you run a query that inserts the output of sys.database_scoped_configurations to a table variable or temporary table in Microsoft SQL Server 2016, and then select from that table variable or temporary table as seen in the example below, you may notice that there is only one entry for each database.
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #h
CREATE TABLE #h(configuration_id INT, name sysname, value SQL_VARIANT, value_for_secondary SQL_VARIANT)
INSERT INTO #h(configuration_id, name, value,value_for_secondary)
SELECT * FROM sys.database_scoped_configurations D'
SELECT * FROM #h H
or
DECLARE @database_scoped_configurations TABLE(x INT);
INSERT INTO @database_scoped_configurations
SELECT configuration_id
FROM sys.database_scoped_configurations;
SELECT * FROM @database_scoped_configurations
