Is anyone aware of a method of determining when a table was last modified or accessed?
Some of our databases have tables that I am sure are not being used and I would like to generate a list of tables that have not been accessed or modified for some period of time.
I looked for a system procedure but didn't see anything that satisfied my need.
Currently I rename suspect tables and wait for someone or some process to gripe, but I don't care for that method for obvious reasons.
The purpose of this is to create a list of tables that could potentially be deleted. I would then prefix them with a d and the auto delete them after x number of days? or move them to a deletions database?
Just trying to automate a bit of house keeping in the active databases.
We have an application that accesses a particular table, but it isnever updated. Without stepping through the complex application code,is there a method of logging when a particular table is accessed?
I created am inventory table with few columns say, Servername, version, patching details, etc
I want a tracking of the table.
Let's say people are asked to modify the base table and I want a complete capture of the details modified and the session of the user ( ) who (system_user) is actually modifying the details.
Hi, I want to manage memory relational data in the memory(Insert, delete, return) and manipulate the data via SQL 2005 and CLR database objects. The gool is to manage a table that relatively has a lot of inserts and deletes which takes a lot of IO operations and i want to reduce it. the data itself is not permanant each row deleted from the table after 15-20 minutes. I looked at the extended stored procedure and other CLR enable objects and it seams that they all return data from the database itself. How can i return data that is reside in the memory? Thanks.
I'm trying to find out what tables are being used in a Database.
I don't want the last User but the User and the Dates.
I have a script that return the last user but that is not going to work.
The following script returns the last user but not all users and the Login Name:
ITH LastActivity (ObjectID, LastAction) AS ( SELECT object_id AS TableName, last_user_seek as LastAction FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats u WHERE database_id = db_id(db_name())
The goal is to address visual source safe database on the network. We have the srcsafe.ini in the network as \ipaddrsrcsafe.ini. Now I create a new VSSDatabase object and call its OpenDb. Well for simple consle app or winform it is ok. But I was running it under Sql server Stored Procedure. It failed for I cannot access the source safe path throgh the COM object.
I know it is because of Windows identity. So I add the following code before I want to open the database, changing the to the WindowsIdentity: WindowsIdentity impersonId = SqlContext.WindowsIdentity; WindowsImpersonationContext orgCtx = null; try { orgCtx = impersonId.Impersonate(); VSS_Database = new MVSI.VSSDatabase(); // VSS_Database.ImpersonateCaller = true; VSS_Database.Open(Path, UserName, PassWord); } catch (Exception err) {
Without the commented line "// VSS_Database.ImpersonateCaller = true", this does not work at all. It just behave like no changes to the windows identity. However if I add this code, well, OpenDb will result in a No-response query. The Sql server is running the query with no responses. Have you ever met that before? I am really frustrated. Thanks
Does anyone know how to get a table's 'last modified date' in SQL 7 ? Sysobjects contains the 'create date', but I can't find a 'last modified date' anywhere......
I have data that sometimes will be modify. when modify the new data will be insert and the old data still remain inside the database. The same item have their own unique id. So I want to query the data that last modified. How?
I am looking for two sql scripts,1. How can i check when a tables structure was last modified? 2. How can i find the structure differences between two databases that were created the same but changed over time individualy?Looking for sql scripts to do this. Any help on either would be great.Thanks
I have a table with several indexes, currently most of them are very narrow (one column), and the question is, when I modify the table by updating a record, does all the indexes are calculated again?? Even if the modified field isn't indexed??? Or the server is smart and knows what indexes to calculate if any.
Second question, can I give to a query a low priority(In dynamic SQL), for example when I don't want my query to exploit too many system resources so it won't interfere the main system ?

I want to pick the recent modified date for DepCode and sum Yearly and Monthly Amount. I have tried this query and not able to get the output. This is the single table.
select B1.[ID], B1.[AppName], B1.[DepCode], B1.[DepName], B1.[Group], B2.ModifiedDate, B2.YearlyAmount, B2.MonthlyAmount, B1.[FuBded], B1.[AppCategory], B1.[Research] FROM Business B1 INNER JOIN (select [ID], MAX(ModifiedDate) as ModifiedDate, SUM(YearlyAmount) as YearlyAmount, SUM(MonthlyAmount) as MonthlyAmount from Business Group by ID) B2 ON B1.ID = B2.ID AND B1.ModifiedDate = B2.ModifiedDate
If I have a view such as: SELECT T.* FROM T When I add a column to table T the view is not updated to reflect that change. Furthermore, if there are other columns after the * in the view (for example SELECT T.*, GETDATE() as "My Date" FROM T) the last columns will contain incorrect data.
Is there a work around for this? An "auto-recompile when tables are modified" kind of option?
Thanks Nick
PS: This is the script I used for testing:
create table tt ( test1 int primary key, test2 int) go insert into tt (test1, test2) values (1,2) go create view vw_tt as select *, getdate() as "My Date" from tt go select * from vw_tt go create view vw_tt2 as select * from tt go alter table tt add test3 int go select * from vw_tt select * from vw_tt2 select * from tt drop table tt drop view vw_tt drop view vw_tt2
Hello, I am using SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0. We have a very simple content management system where we have to keep track of date last modified for each row in all of our content tables. I know there's a "timestamp" datatype that is used for replication scenarios, but is there anything similar that I can use to set up a date_modified column for each of my content tables that will automatically update with GETDATE() whenever anything in a given row is updated? Or do I have to create a date_modified column of smalldatetime datatype and write a trigger on update for EVERY single table of content that I have in the database? It seems there should be an easier way to do this than to write 20 triggers for my 20 content tables. Thanks!
I've a table with more columns and 1 identifier. I need to write this table when a modified row is detecting respect to the columns not to the identifier.
So I've created a temporary table to put the potential rows to write on the real table, but I want to detect the modified rows. I've thought to use the checksum function, but I don't know how to use it and if it could be useful in this scenario.
Moreover, in the temporary table I've collected daily the rows to write: the first day a row could have a value respect to his columns, the next day a different value and the next one the same value respect to the first day.
Any one please tell me is there any possible way to identify the table modified date.
I have checked the table created date from sysobjects or by right click properties. my requirement is to identify the exact date of table modification and column creation,alter dates. Is there any such provision in sql server 2000 or 2005 , My application is in sql server 2000.
I need to confirm this because some database structure modification has affected my application and causing dataloss i need to check with the date of structural change of table and lost data date can any one help
in microsoft doc there is written on the topic of BP Extensions with SSD's in SQL Server 2014: only clean pages are written to disk... does this mean data pages that have not been modified yet? or also those data pages that have already been modified, and where log has finished writing and the transaction has been marked as commited??
why are there clean data pages being written to L2 cache to make space for other not modified pages? I mean, shoudnt they be modified first, before letting other unmodified data pages into the Cache? I mean they have still to be modified..that makes no sense to me to page them out and page them in again just for other data pages...
I just got assigned to be our companies sql server dba, there are about 80 databases on various servers. I am suspecting many are not even used. Is there a way for me to tell the last time they were accessed and by whom? And, more importantly, the last time any changes have been made in the database? Thanks in advance.
What are my options to find heavily accessed DBs on a server? I know I can do this by profiler and some counters. Is there any tool which gives me this information easily?

I have a bunch of datbases I have created during the development process. I want to delete those no longer being used. How do I find when the last time a database was accessed?
