Examples
The following example adds the Generic T-SQL Query collector type to the core.supported_collector_types
view. By default, the Generic T-SQL Query collector type already exists. Therefore, if you run this code on a default installation, you see a message that the collector type already exists.
This code runs successfully if you previously removed the Generic T-SQL Query collector type by using the core.sp_remove_collector_type
stored procedure, and then wanted to re-add it as a registered collector type that can upload data to the management data warehouse.
USE <management_data_warehouse>;
GO
DECLARE @RC INT;
DECLARE @collector_type_uid UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
SELECT @collector_type_uid = (
SELECT collector_type_uid
FROM msdb.dbo.syscollector_collector_types
WHERE name = N'Generic T-SQL Query Collector Type'
);
EXECUTE @RC = core.sp_add_collector_type @collector_type_uid;
