Notification when table name changes

  • I have a situation where a person, who created our DW, likes to go in and change table name. This person had no prior SQL xp and is at a higher level then me in the company. I need to know whenever somebody changes a table name I get notified, with the old table name and the new table name. This can be either set on the server level or the DB level. I would like to use the policy management but cant find the way to do it.

    Thanks

  • I'd suggest investigating Event Notifications or using a DDL trigger. Event Notifications will probably have less impact on your server.

  • I've been running Red Gate's DLM Dashboard for a while now on one of my dev servers, and it does a good job of tracking any DLM changes. Right now it's free, so it might be worth checking out.

    DLM Dashboard does use a DDL trigger, and is certainly an option.

  • This is exactly what DLM Dashboard was designed to do. Catch changes in schema. It works well for me in small projects here.

  • Thanks for both of your help, I am going to look into the Event Notification

    I think there are several of us that wished that.

    Several, yes.

    Redgate also runs this forum... it's a conspiracy!
