SQL Server 2008 :: Change Tracking On Table?
Jun 8, 2015
best way to track changes for a very pesky table.We pull down a table from an Oracle database (via linked server) into our SQL Server on a daily basis. The data in this table is just truncated and reloaded daily. There is no "history" kept in the oracle database and values are not being "updated" its just dropped and repopulated.
So, I have toyed around with CDC and even creating my own custom auditing method but I can't come up with a reasonable solution that doesn't involve a massive audit table that doesn't provide much useful info.
For example, there are two date fields in the table that my customer wishes to have history tracked for. Every day, this table is truncated and reloaded - however those dates may stay the same for many many many months. If I turn on CDC, I will get tons of audit records for a delete and an insert every day but the values for the two date fields may not have even changed.
The table has tons of fields in it but I only care about the 2 date fields for history purposes.Here is a snippet of the table (I took out all the additional fields in the table and just left the two date fields that need to be tracked):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Fake_Name](
[lin] [char](6) NOT NULL,
[boip_no] [char](6) NOT NULL,
[dt_tc] [varchar](25) NULL,
[Code] .....
method to track changes to this table with it being truncated every day?

Has anyone come across a change tracking tool for SQL Server. Specificallythe scenario I want is the following :A Production DB needs some modifications to its content.This tool will copy the DB to a dev environment.The Dev environment will be 2 copies of the DB, 1 as a control set and theother the change DB.The developer makes their changes in the Change DB. They test them out andthen when they decide the changes are ready to pushto production they hitthe "go" button on the tool.The tool calculates the delta between the Control and the Change DB and thenpushes the changes to producitonAny ideasThankss

Or can it record before and after column changes based on the LSN only?
An extract from a file based legacy accounting system is performed every night. The system does not have a primary key because transactions are managed through program code. (the more things change...). The extract is copied to text in Unix and FTP'd to Windows, where the file is loaded into SQL Server by kill & fill. Because of the expense of modifying the source system, there is enormous inertia/resistance to injecting a primary key at the source, so kill & fill it stays.
In reading about Change Data Capture, it seemed to me that column level insert update and delete are stored in tables that remember the before and after content of each column tracked. In my reading I have seen many references to the LSN to decide when and what to record as changed, but I have not seen any refereference to the necessity of a primary key for Change Data Capture to work. This is in contrast to replication, where the requirement for the existence of a primary key is made plain.
Is it possible to use Change Data Capture against a table without a primary key? How to use it to change the extract from kill and fill to incremental.

We noticed a deadlock 3-4 weeks ago on a table (table1) and deadlock graph was captured.
When I am analyzing the deadlock graph, page number using DBCC PAGE, I am getting the object id for a different table (table2). But deadlock graph shows the name of the object as table1.
Is it possible that subsequent defragmentation of indexes would have caused the respective page id to got re-allocated to a different table? I checked the deadlock graph lately only after 3-4 weeks.

This one is giving me quite a bit more difficulty then I ever imagined it would...
Essentially I would like to use one table to store the change history for multiple tables. I would like to use an update trigger to check which fields have changed in each record, and write a single record for each field that changed containing the table name, field name, previous value and new value to a history table.
I can't seem to find a good way to do this.

How to reset the value of the change tracking anchor id?
CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION()
It's a bigint that increments on every DML operation and I just wondered how you could reset it back to zero. Turning change tracking off and on doesn't seem to do it.

Hi,
Can anybody let me know if there are ways to programatically track changes made to a SQL SERVER CE table? I am writing a db monitoring tool on SQL server CE which should track any changes made to the table.(Insert update and delete)
We could have done this using triggers on Sql Server 2005. Since triggers are not supported on SQL Server CE, are there any alternate ways to achieve this functionality?
Regards,
Ananth

We are developing an application that requires change tracking.We tested it in development and test environments and we are preparing our production deployment.The very first thing that needs to be done is an
ALTER
DATABASE [db_name] SET
CHANGE_TRACKING =
ON (CHANGE_RETENTION
= 2 DAYS,
AUTO_CLEANUP =
ON)
We are holding on this first step because this statement alone executed for a good 4min on the development server. The production environment is many times larger and busier, and we can’t afford service disruption, so we are at the point where we need to understand what’s involved in running this ALTER DATABASE statement.Is there any documentation on what is happening behind the scene when this statement executes such that we can assess the risks of running it in production?

In a change tracking enabled database I can find the latest change tracking version number by using
Select CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION() As Latest ChangeTrackingID.
Which will give latest change tracking id (example 1022), Is there a way to find the datetime of this latest change tracking id.

IF you need to change the IP Address of a SQL Server Failover Cluster instance, here is the steps:
1. Open up Failover Cluster manager.
2. Expand the MS Cluster Instance that your SQL Cluster instance resides on.
3. Expand Services and applications.
4. Select the SQL Server Service.
5. In the main window pane (Middle Screen), you should see your SQL Server Cluster name, expand the plus to the left of it.
6. Under your SQL Server Cluster name, you should now see an 'IP address' section, right click on it and go to properties.
7. In the properties pane, you can change your IP address by entering a static IP.....or assigning a DHCP enabled IP.

Recently we had multiple production failures because one database was in single-user mode. I am trying to recreate this scenario to write a script that will kick out that connection that was holding database in single-user.In SSMS window 1 I run the following code:
use master
go
alter database test
set single_user
with rollback immediate
[code]....
Yes, it shows one record, but the database name is master, not test. And indeed, I run it from the context of master. Also tried sp_who, sp_who2, sys.dm_exec_requests - nothing works. For dm_exec_requests it shows nothing because it does not run at the current moment.Any other solutions to catch this SPID with a script?

We are going to use SQL Sever change tracking. The problem is that some of our tables, which are to be tracked, have no primary keys. There are only unique clustered indexes. The question is what is the best way to turn on change tracking for these tables in our circumstances.

INSERT INTO vacationaccrual

Hello,
I receive an error message when I try to Push data that the table is not tracked. However, when I try to turn on the tracking option it gives me an error that the table is a multi query table and therefore cannot be tracked. Here is my code to Pull the table.
string TPDAPull = string.Format("SELECT Table1.Field1,Table1.Field2, Table1.Field3, Table1.Field4, from Table1 Left Join Table2 on Table1.Field1 =Table2.Field1 WHERE Table2.Field12='{0}'", this.FindWorker(var));
rda.Pull("Table1", TPDAPull, rdaOleDbConnectString, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOn);
This table does not have a primary key. I was wondering what can I do in this situation? I do not want to Pull the whole table. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am working in VS 2005, NCF2.0, C#, WM5.0.
Thanks in advance!
