DECLARE @DatabaseID INT, @TableID INTUSE DatabaseName SET @DatabaseID = DB_ID('DatabaseName') SET @TableID = OBJECT_ID('TableName') DBCC PINTABLE (@DatabaseID, @TableID) 

Unpinning

DECLARE @DatabaseID INT, @TableID INT USE DatabaseName SET @DatabaseID = DB_ID('DatabaseName') SET @TableID = OBJECT_ID('TableName') DBCC UNPINTABLE (@DatabaseID, @TableID)
