We have an application that accesses a particular table, but it is
never updated. Without stepping through the complex application code,
is there a method of logging when a particular table is accessed?
Is there something that I can use to track how many times a report has been accessed or run or who has run it? Is there some kind of tool out there that does this?

Can i find out when a table was last accessed?
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.
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.
Thanks!
code that I can use to determine if a certain table has been accessed in the past?

Can we push the data for the above query in a physical table and create index to make the query fast rather than using the same set tables multiple times
I am working on a model where I have a sales fact table. Each fact record has four different customer fields (ship- to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer). I have one customer dimension table that joins to the sales fact table four times (once for each of the customer fields above). When viewing the data in Excel, I would like to have four hierarchies (ship -to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer) within Customer.
Is there a way to build hierarchies within my Customer dimension based on the same Customer table? What I want is to view the data in Excel and see the Customer dimension. Within Customer, I want four hierarchies.
To All--
First off, I'm new to SQL Server and apologize if this is a trivial question.
What I'm trying to do is alias the same table with 2 different names so that I may join them on two different fields.
Table1
Emp_Number
Emp_Code_1
Emp_Code_2
Table2 (Contains a list of codes and their related descriptions)
Emp_Code
Long_Desc
Short_Desc
I'm trying to query Table1 for the Emp_Number but I want to get the Short_Desc from Table2 for both Emp_Code1 and Emp_Code2. I'm using Microsoft Access as the front end (using Pass Through Queries) and SQL Server on the back end.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi,
If i have an SP called mySP that accepts one parameter @param
If I have a table of paramaters with only one column like this:
Param1
Param2
..
ParamN
How do I do if I want to execute the SP on all the table fields:
some thing like this:
Exec my SP 'Param1'
Exec mySP 'Param2'
...
Exec mySP 'ParamN'
I want that automatically since the parameters are going to be in a table called myTblParams
Notice that I don t want to pass all the parameters to the SP just once but only one value each time I execute the SP since mySP ccepts only one parameter.
Thanks a lot for guidelines
I have 2 tables with 2 fields in common between them. How do I get a count of rows in table 1 but not in table 2 matching those 2 fields? Thanks.
Hi,I'm having problems constructing a nested join. It's quite complex, sohere's a simplfied example of the problem. Any thoughts on what I'mdoig wrong - or if I've got the whole approach wrong are welcome.I've two tables :-one is a contact table contacting name, addresses etc. Three of thefields represent users - 'created by', 'last modified by' and 'owner'.They contain usernames - eg. JDOE, BSMITH etc.The other table contants usernames and new ID codes.What I want to do is create a new dataset by joining the contacts tablewith the user table on all three fields - so the new dataset containsthe ids for the creator, last modifier and owner.I've tried things similar to:select c.*, u1.id, u2,id, u3.idfrom contact cleft outer join users u1left outer join users u2left outer join users u3on (u3.username = c.owner)on (u2.username = c.modified)on (u1.username = c.creator )But it compains that"The column prefix 'c' does not match with a table name or alias nameused in the query."The problem is referencing c (contact) through the whole set of joins.I would like to do this in some similar format as the query is within acursor and post-processing would be very long-winded.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,Sorry if the subject line is too obscure -- I couldn't think of a wayof describing this request.I have a table that contains approximately 1 million records.I want to be able to be able to select the top x records out of thistable matching variable criteria.Pseudo table records:custid, category, segment1,1,12,1,13,1,14,1,15,1,26,1,27,1,28,1,29,2,110,2,111,2,112,2,113,2,214,2,215,2,216,2,217,2,318,2,319,2,320,2,3So, what I'm trying to do is return a recordset, for example, thatcontains the top 2 of each variation of category and segment.ie:1,1,12,1,15,1,26,1,29,2,110,2,113,2,214,2,217,2,318,2,3The only way I can think to achieve this is in a while statement,performing individual selects against each combination, feeding thewhere criteria by variables that I automatically increment.I can't help thinking there's a much more graceful way of achievingthis?If anyone can give me any insight into this I'd be incrediblyappreciative!Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a script that creates these spin off tables (used for lightning fast access) on a near daily basis. But it is possible the table does not exist for that day - in which the script need to check one day back - so on and so forth until finding the most recently created table.
The script I have written fails with overflow error.
I was hoping someone could tell me the correct syntax to accomplish this and also why i recieve this overflow error...
Code:
Dim str_SQL_Asset_1
daysBack = 1
tblFound = FALSE
Dim xbl_Holdings_date
Dim xMonth
Dim xDay
xbl_Holdings_date = date()
If Len(Month(xbl_Holdings_date))=1 Then
xMonth = "0" & Month(xbl_Holdings_date)
Else
xMonth = Month(xbl_Holdings_date)
End If
If Len(Day(xbl_Holdings_date))=1 Then
xDay = "0" & Day(xbl_Holdings_date)
Else
xDay = Day(xbl_Holdings_date)
End If
DO WHILE tblFound = FALSE
xbl_Holdings_Name = "xbl_Holdings_" & Year(xbl_Holdings_date) & "_" & xMonth & "_" & xDay
SQL_tblCheck_STR = "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES " & _
"WHERE table_name = '" & xbl_Holdings_Name & "' "
Set MM_checkCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
MM_checkCmd.ActiveConnection = conn_str_ClientDB
MM_checkCmd.Source = SQL_tblCheck_STR
MM_checkCmd.CursorType = 0
MM_checkCmd.CursorLocation = 2
MM_checkCmd.LockType = 3
MM_checkCmd.Open()
IF MM_checkCmd.EOF Then
xbl_Holdings_date = (xbl_Holdings_date - daysBack)
daysBack = daysBack + 1
tblFound = FALSE
ELSE
tblFound = TRUE
MM_checkCmd.CLOSE()
SET MM_checkCmd = Nothing
END IF
loop
The goal of this snippet is simply to identify and set the value for the existing table name.
An example table name would be "xbl_Holdings_2006_12_10".
I could have posted this question in the VB forum but I would like to push as much of the work onto SQL as possible and also - this sort of operation is more likely to be required of a dba imo.

I need to have a script where it ask the user for a value, the script will search for all records that match the value. Then it will display the numbers of records found and ask the user to enter a different value. The rest of the script will use this new value and increment by 1 n times as the number of records found. I started the script where it will ask for "HANDLE" and display the number of records found with that "HANDLE"
declare @HANDLE as varchar(30)
declare @COUNT as varchar(10)
declare @STARTINV as varchar(20)
set @HANDLE = ?C --This is the parameter to search for records with this value
set @STARTINV = ?C --User will input the starting invoice number
SELECT COUNT as OrderCount FROM SHIPHIST
where HANDLE = @HANDLE
I just can't figure out how to proceed to use the entered invoice # and increment by 1 until it reach the number of records found.
This will be the end results:
Count=5 --results from query
STARTINV=00010 --Value entered by user
Handle,Inv_Num
AAABBB,00010
AAABBB,00011
AAABBB,00012
AAABBB,00013
AAABBB,00014

Hi Friends,
Is there any way to find the time when the last DDL was happened in a table?
For example: The time when the new column(s) were added into a table or changed the datatype.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Is there a way to find out when the last modification or change to data in a table occured ? How about the last change of a view ?
We'd like to be able to extract data to another table based on a view. Then, at a later date, check to see if the first table or view has changed since the last extract. If not, then we don't need to re-extract the data, we know it hasn't changed.
Can this be done easilly through a stored proc?

Hi i've to table where i have a product code and a area code.
I want to insert the values from table 1 into table 2 if the product code and area code do not already exists in the table in table 2.

select distinct p_code1, area_code
from table1
where not exists
(select p_code, area_code
from table 2 )
A client has a site, that requires users to log in, and each login is logged with IP in this table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Event](
[EventId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[EventTypeId] [int] NOT NULL,
[IP] [varchar](50) NULL,
[UserId] [int] NULL
[DateCreated] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Event_DateCreated] DEFAULT (getdate()),
CONSTRAINT [PK_Event] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EventId] ASC
)
How the client wants me to write a query, that will find "suspected abuse of accounts" - defined by being successful logins made within one hour from at least 3 different IPs.
So I need to check for events, that are within one hour from each other (datecreated field) and have the same userID - and EventTypeId - but at least 3 different IPs.
Maybe it's just late in the day or I am overworked, but I cant seem to find an effective way to approach this.
Ideas?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
My database is case insensitive. However, the application is case sensitive for the data in the table.
I need to find out the data from the table where the data is stored in lower case.
Here is the sample data:
Table: inv_manager
column: sku varchar(5)
Data: 1134X
1135x
1123a
b145Y
I just need query to return row 2, 3, 4.
Here is my query:
select sku from inv_manager where sku like lower('%[a-z]%')
The problem is it returns all the rows from the table including first one.
How can I return just the data with lower case ?
Thanks
