--First, the following code pins the "authors" table in pubs:
DECLARE @db_id int, @tbl_id intUSE pubsSET @db_id = DB_ID('pubs')SET @tbl_id = OBJECT_ID('pubs..authors')DBCC PINTABLE (@db_id, @tbl_id)SELECT @tbl_id
--Next, a table is not really pinned until after it is retrieved from disk into the buffer, so you need to do this with the following command:
SELECT * FROM authors
--Now to see if the authors table is pinned or not, you can run the following code. If the table is pinned, you will get a message that it is, if it is not pinned, then you won't get any return information about pinned tables.
IF OBJECTPROPERTY (object_id('authors'),'TableIsPinned') = 1PRINT 'TableIsPinned'
--When you are done, you will want to unpin your table. To do so, run this example code:
DECLARE @db_id int, @tbl_id intUSE pubsSET @db_id = DB_ID('pubs')SET @tbl_id = OBJECT_ID('pubs..authors')DBCC UNPINTABLE (@db_id, @tbl_id)
Of course, this example code only will check one table at a time. To check all your tables, run the following code:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Tables WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id(TABLE_NAME), 'TableIsPinned') > 0
Thanks to chappy for the above SELECT statement.
