Scripting objects log

    Hi,

    I need to log every "Script object as ..." attempt on a database from a group of users, all of them using SSMS.

    I assume SSMS is using the SMO .Script method of various objects being scripted, is there any way to log all this kind of activity?

    (I need something simple: HostName / Date / Object(s) scripted)

    Thank you so much for any idea on this...

    please try DDL Triggers if you having SQL Server 2005 or Higher

    that won't work...scripting is a DML operation, where it goes out and selects the details for a specific table from the tables like sys.columns, sys.constrants, etc. scripting doesn't execute a DDL operation.

    you'll need to use a DML trace, but you should be able to filter it, i would think...

    start a profiler trace, and script a few objects.

    stop the profiler, and look at the results of the trace...i'm not sure what SSMS does when it hits a trace, but i certainly know where the data is accessible...you might need analyze that to use in a trace to filter the textdata for whatever that action is doing.
