Jack Li troubleshoots a customer issue when trying to modify a memory-optimized table:
Recently I assisted on a customer issue where customer wasn’t able to alter a memory optimized table with the following error
Msg 41317, Level 16, State 3, Procedure ddl, Line 4 [Batch Start Line 35]
A user transaction that accesses memory optimized tables or natively compiled modules cannot access more than one user database or databases model and msdb, and it cannot write to master.If you access a memory optimized table, you can’t span database or access model or msdb. The alter statement doesn’t involve any other database.
It turns out there was a DDL trigger defined on the instance that wrote data to msdb. Click through for Jack’s repro script. I’d be able to use memory-optimized tables a lot more frequently (to the chagrin of company DBAs, perhaps) if they supported cross-database operations.
