Tracking Changes

How do you track changes to objects in SQL Server.
For example changes in stored procedure,views and indexes. What system table or column track or indicate changes in text of sp or views.
Help appreciated.

Tracking Who Is Doing What?
Aug 9, 2006We are building an inventory management system complete with BOM. It is important to track what employee is updating what tables. Currently all such tables have a Date field that is updated when a change is made, and an EmployeeID field which records the employee making the change. I am wondering if someone knows of a better way to track this information. Any suggestions?

SQL Tracking
Mar 6, 2006I have an application that uses SQL server. Is there a way to find out what SQL statements the application is passing to the SQL server?
I would like to know all kinds of activities going on in the background of the application. I am sure there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

Mar 7, 2006im trying to create a procedure that will insert/update a small table
that has an ID, AmtBefore & AmtAfter.
this is just a table that i'd be using to monitor other activity on the database.
i'm really pulling a price + ID every hour and i need to track that somehow and know when the procedure runs if a price is lower than it was the last hour, plus of course keep the ID's straight.
does anyone have a good approach to something like this?

Sep 11, 2006Hi all,
I have several transaction tables on which I need to track the changes. That is I need to maitain
the history of changes. Only few column values are changed often.
Which is the best way for tracking the changes.
1.Store the whole record after the change ?
Or
2.Store the ColumnName & its respective old & new value ?
Or any other better.
Note : UI part & SP's will take care of the tracking & no plans for triggers.
Thanks in advance,

Tracking Searches.
May 10, 2008Hey everybody,
First thank you for all your help thus far. Now I'm stuck again. I've been doing a lot of reading on triggers and logging information into tables but I've been trying to capture how many times someone enters an item into the search box.
So every time somebody types Gumballs into the search box I want to capture it and the name of the person who is currently logged in. Is there away to do this? Maybe this is something that I should be checking in ASP.NET forums?
Thanks in advanced guys!
User Ip Tracking

Many ofthese databases never seem to have anybody connected to them in thecurrent activity.What I'd like to do is find a way to audit the logins, so everytimesomeone connects to a database it simply logs the clients IP address,what login they used, and maybe what time. I've been searching googlefor this and have found tons of information on auditing the logins,but not the clients, such as by ip. Any help in this regard would beGREATLY appriciated!Joshua
View 2 Replies View RelatedTurning RDA Tracking Off
Nov 28, 2006I have a device application that simply needs to upload data to a server. The preferred DB server is Oracle but I've made it work using RDA and SQL Server. The problem I'm having is that it just needs to upload data, whichh I send using the RDA.Push() method. The data arrives just fine, the first time. With every subsequent upload all of the previous data is deleted fromt he server. Apparently RDA is tracking the deletion of the previously uploaded data locally and on the next .Push deleting that data from the server.
My question is: Is it possible to prevent RDA from deleting data on SQL Server? I attempted to delete the rows from the __sysDeletedRows/__sysRowTrack tables but got a "Data is read only" error.
RDA Tracking Options
Oct 4, 2007I hoipe someone can point me in the right direction here.
I have an application with the following requirements (using SQL CE 2 alas)
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. Using rda, I need to get the modifications to these tables from the server (add/edit/delete) but the handheld will never update these tables.
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. The handheld needs to add/edit existing records, and it needs to get any changes from the server.
A set of tables on the server where the handheld needs to import a subset of the records. It needs to add (but not edit) new records, upload the new records to the server, and download any changed (add/edit/delete) records to the handheld.
What tracking options should I use in these 3 cases?
The problem comes in that I need to have some foreign key relationships in the database on the handheld. Since rda munges the names of primary keys (and indexes), I do not know of a good way to add these foreign key constraints. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tracking Changes Best Practices
Nov 5, 2007I've got a table that has frequent updates to it. I want 100% change tracking on this table though, so we can rollback to any previous version, or just see any changes people make.
Is there a best practice for things like this? Currently, I'm using a trigger on UPDATE to take the previous values and store them in a history table. This keeps track of who changes what, and when. Plus the most recent data is seperate and more performant to access.
I've also heard about putting an 'IsActive' flag on the main table and any changes that are made just get marked as In-Active and a new record gets added.
Any input?
Thanks!

Tracking Connections
Oct 19, 2007
Hi,
I have a bit of a problem I could do with some help with please...
I am updating an old windows client server app that uses ADO 2.8. Slowly but surely I am migrating the code from VB6 to .NET and this now means the ADO code is going to be replaced with ADO.NET.
As it is a client server the application used to establish an ADO connection and hold on to the connection for the entire duration of the app being alive. When a user signed in it would record the user logon code in a database table along with the current @@SPID value.
When the user does something in the application it typically usees an SP to do the database work. Inside the SP it also audits the work being carried out, of course the audit trail records the user id that did the work. The way it determines who called this SP is to query the logon table using the current @@SPID to get the users logon code (remember this was paired up when the user signed in).
This all worked very nicely as only one connection was ever being used and it was always the same connection that was used. However, when I come to use ADO.NET this is no longer valid. I want to use the connection pool and follow the best practices where my connections are always obtained as late as possible and released as soon as possible.
This leave me with the problem of how to get the current users logon code in to the SPs in order for them to continue writing the audit trail. Currently I am thinking that I am going to have to send the users code in to the SP as a parameter, I just wondered if there was an alternative.
Any help would be great.

Tracking Down Full Scans
Sep 21, 2001Hi,
Full scans are bad, and I know this. I am seeing some on my database, and I know that some are unavoidable....but what I would like to do is find out which queries are causing them. I have over 500 users in my DB at any one time, and SQL Profiler doesn't seem to help me.....it shows me what objects are being scanned, but not if the scan is a full-scan or an index scan.
Does anyone have a way to find out what is causing my full scans?

Tracking Sales Changes Over Time
May 15, 2008My main datasource is a rather poorly written and documented SQL database. I am currently working in SQL Server 2000 but will be upgrading to 2005 in 6 months to a year. There are three sales order tables.
SOMAST Sales Order Master Table
SOITEMS SO Items Table
SORELS SO Releases Table
My employer wants to track how our sales orders change over time. This would be a nightly process. They want to track changes in certain columns such as price and quantity to see if they differed from yesterday and to keep those changes separate in another table or set of tables to track them. This of course would include newly entered sales orders for that day as well. Our current erp system does not support this.
This seems like a huge task to a neophyte like myself, but I am tasked with doing this. Am I correct in assuming the correct method would be a stored procedure that does the following:
1. Check the current tables at end of day today and compare them with a saved version of yesterday's tables.
2. Insert into a 3rd table (or set of them) the differences.
3. Copy today's tables over yesterday's tables so they are available tomorrow.
I realize this task is difficult, but am I at least starting in the right direction?
