BUG: IF UPDATED Returns TRUE in a Trigger (70851)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 4.2x
This article was previously published under Q70851 SYMPTOMS
After a trigger using the IF UPDATED(colName) clause was created, an
attempt to update the column colName, even if the update statement does not
actually affect any rows, will cause the statements in the IF UPDATED block
to be executed.
CAUSE
IF UPDATED returns TRUE for columns, regardless of whether the value
has been changed.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
