Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2000 and have the following questions:
1. How do I know the last updated (data) date using system objects or any other method?
2. How do I know the last modified date of a table using system objects or any other method?
3. How do I know when a table is last accessed
Any help is appreciated
Thanks for your time and help in advance

If your tables contain created and modified/updated dates what is the best practice for these?
1. Should you use UTC dates?
2. Do you use a default for the creation date (I assume yes)?
3. Should you create a trigger to handle the last update date? Or do you update the column directly in your stored procedures that modify data?
Also, as an aside if you store the user who created/updated the record do you store a foreign key reference to the user table or do you store the username as a varchar? Of course I know you'd normally store the fk, but I wasn't sure if the "logging" nature of the column suggests storing a string value.
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!
hi,
I want to find the modified database objects(Tables, Proc and Fun) in last 3 days in SQL 2000.

I have a front end inteface that adds data to tables in a SQL database.My question is:Is there an easy way of finding out what tables are affected by the update? Is there a sp_ or DBCC command that would give me the update or altered tables?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi AllI know an SQL Server timestamp seems to be as useful as rocking horse forshow jumping, but I'm hoping you know a 'fudge' to get me round a problem orat least confirm that it isn't possible.I have 2 tables, one called ACCOUNTS and one called STOCK.These tables have the usual ints, varchars, etc and have a timestamp fieldas well.My end user wants to see a simple list of the details in these tables(individually - no joins present here), but sorted from most recentlyupdated to never touched.As the timestamp seems to update each time a transaction hits it I thoughthis would be perfect, but I've had the following mixed results:1) I did a simple ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC, but because the order isalphanumeric I don't get a true 'recent to old' list.2) So I did ORDER BY CAST(TIMESTAMP AS INT) DESC. There is a numeric sortnow, but the timestamp values seem to be hit and miss so that an accountthat I know should be near the top is around about the middle.Do you know how I can achieve the results I want?Is the timestamp a waste of time?ThanksRobbie

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I want to save the last modification date when the row is updated. I have a column called "LastModification" in the table, every time the row is update I want to set the value of this column to the current date. So far all I know is that I need to use a trigger and the GetDate() function, but could any body help me with how to set the value of the column to getdate()? thanks for your help.

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......
Hi,
the ssis package loops through a folder using a foreach loop container and imports the data inside each .csv file into the database.
Now I would like to add the functionality to first check the modified date of the .csv file. If it is NOT today's date then the package should fail or go to error.
Any thoughts how to do this please?
Thanks

Hello all,
I was just thinking about a situation which I have been tasked with in that I have a package that is scheduled to run once a day which will import data from a flat file. The data does not have any distinguishing time that can be used to see whether or not it is beyond a last imported time.
I was wondering, is there a way to access the date modified of the file? If so I could simply append this time to a table which keeps track of all of the files and the modified dates which I have ever imported for this task.

Hi
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm an Oracle DBA and just getting used to MS Sqlserver. I noticed that the windows explorer "date modified" field for my database files ( .MDF files ) doesn't change much even though there is activity going on. Sometimes it doesn't change for a week.
Is this the expected behavior? Could it be that no data is changing in my database? ( I find that hard to believe)
Thanks for any insights.
In SQL Server is there a way to know when a procedure was lastmodified? I only see the "Create Date" column on the EnterpriseManager.Thanks Experts!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking to create an SSIS package to import text files into an SQL table. I'd like to import the 'date modified' attribute from the text file into one of the columns as well as the data within the text file.
I'm thinking an ActiveX task and variable currently, just wondered if anyone had any other thoughts on how this could be achieved.
Thanks
Why is it that, even though the database is modified daily, the modified date on the data file is not updated?
Thanks.

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
basically what we need is a query that will allow me to provide a directory and a variable for number of days for instance 1 day old and I want to be able to able to delete all files older than that date and of course I want to be able exclude files of a particular type where I would give it a wild card statement for example say i wanted to save all csv files i would have the wild card say <> '%.csv'

I am trying to find a beginning date from multiple date ranges, for example:
RowNumberidBegin dtEnd Dt

407933192011-09-062012-09-03
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2011-09-06
108203492014-09-022015-06-30
208203492013-09-032014-09-01
308203492012-09-042013-09-02
408203492011-12-122012-07-03--not a continuous date range
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2012-09-04
108203492014-09-022015-06-30
For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02
To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.

the requirements are to return person ID with the most recent leaving date from a scheduled dept, who has previously arrived at an unscheduled dept within 7 days, but just now my query shows all the previous leaving dates within 7 days of that unscheduled dept arrival, I only want the last leaving date before the arrival at the unscheduled dept:
So for instance looking at a copy of one person's date below I have:
PersonID Last Dept Arrival Date To Last Dept Leaving Date From Last Dept Next Arrival Date to Unscheduled Dept
======== ================= ========================= =========================== =====================================
0106573268Dept 5 2013-03-01 2013-03-03 2013-03-05
0106573268Dept 6 2013-02-27 2013-02-27 2013-03-05
0106573268dept 2 2013-02-26 2013-02-26 2013-03-05
In the data above I only want to return the first row, which is the most recent leaving date before arrival at an unscheduled dept.
My query is much the same as before except my inline view is looking at the data for last scheduled leaves from depts in my inline view and also the outer query returning all arrivals to the unscheduled dept:
SELECT b.personID
,b.dept AS "Last leaving dept"
,b.arrival_Date as "arrival Date To Last dept"
,b.leaving_Date AS "leaving Date From Last dept",
a.[arrival Date] as "Next arrival Date to AREA_GH"
FROM Unscheduled_Arrival a INNER JOIN (SELECT *
FROM scheduled_Leaves
where [leaving date] is not null) b
ON a.Person_ID = b.Person_ID

Hi;
We received a Payment from a customer on '10/10/2007 10:30:00'. i am trying to calculate the commission we would receive from that payment. the commission rate can be edited. so i have to find what the commission rate was when that payment was received.
I have a CommisionAudit table that tracks changes in commission rate with the following values.
ID | Commission Change | UpdatedOn
----------------------------------------------
1 | Change from 20->25 | 03/07/2007 09:00:00
----------------------------------------------
2 | Change from 25->35 | 10/09/2007 17:00:00
----------------------------------------------
3 | Change from 35->20 | 01/10/2007 16:00:00
----------------------------------------------
4 | Change from 20->26 | 11/10/2007 10:00:00
----------------------------------------------
with this payment, as the commission rate had been changed on 01/10/2007 it would obviously be 20%(ID 3). But I need to write sql to cover all eventualities i.e. Before the first and after the last. any help would be most welcome.
