Service Broker Sample 2: Asynchronous Triggers
===========================================================================
 This script creates a set of objects that allow
 the easy implementation and usage of Asynchronous Triggers.
 Usage:
	1. Run this script on the database where you want the asynchronous trigger(s).
	
	2. Create a stored procedure which will receive the following two parameters:
		@inserted XML,
		@deleted XML
	   This procedure will be responsible for parsing the inserted/deleted data
	   and executing the actual trigger logic based on that data.
	   
	3. Inside the actual table trigger, use the following code:
			DECLARE
				@inserted	XML,
				@deleted	XML;
				
			SELECT @inserted =
				( SELECT * FROM inserted FOR XML PATH('row'), ROOT('inserted') );
			
			SELECT @deleted = 
				( SELECT * FROM deleted FOR XML PATH('row'), ROOT('deleted') );
			
			EXECUTE SB_AT_Fire_Trigger '{YourProcedureName}', @inserted, @deleted;
		
	   But replace {YourProcedureName} with the name of the procedure you've
	   created in step 2.
	   
You may review script SB_AT_Sample for an AdventureWorks2008R2 example.

Hi @EitanBlumin , sproc SB_AT_HandleQueue is erroring, not sure why? It has to do with that end conversation inside the try/catch.

This worked: use the sproc below instead of END CONVERSATION @handle in your sproc SB_AT_HandleQueue . I'm on SQL SERVER 2014.

create procedure SB_AT_EndConversation (
    @handle uniqueidentifier
)
As
begin
    declare @sql varchar(8000) = 'end conversation ''' +  convert(varchar(max),@handle) + '''';
    exec (@sql)
end
