  • Hi..

    iam dba of sqlserver. last couple of days i didn't go to office.. now i came today.. my question is what are the changes were done in database server from the last couple of days..

    could you pls help me out regarding this..

  • You can check the default trace, if the server isn't too busy, the changes might still be in there. Otherwise you would have needed a trace or DDL trigger before the changes were made.

  • And in 2005/2008, it's pretty easy to see the changes from the default trace. In Management Studio, right click on the server name, in Object Explorer, and select, Reports, Standard Reports, Schema Changes. You'll get everything you need, as Gail said, assuming the number of changes hasn't cycled through the trace.
