Use this when you want to perform a task on all tables in a database
sp_MSforeachtable is a stored procedure used to loop through all the tables in the database. We can use this in different situations. For example, we want to run command to disable all triggers, then we could write that like this:

SQL
sp_msforeachtable "ALTER TABLE ? DISABLE TRIGGER all"

? will be replaced with table name.
I think you will enjoy this.
