Activity Monitor History

  • Is there a history table for activity monitor in 2005? Is there a way of going back to find out how many users were connected to a database server at a particular time?

    Thanks

  • I don't believe there is in 2005. In 2008 there is the management data warehouse, which should capture this.

  • But even the management data warehouse has to be enabled and the data kept in order to go back in time to retrieve it.

    Basically, the answer is, unless you've set up some mechanism (built in to the product or not) to retrieve this information and store it over time, no, you can't get at it now.
