I have a table which contains 5 records in it.Now i want to see the insert query used in inserting the records.
I am new to sql & want to know whether there is any way by which sql generates that query automatically for me
.Thanks in advance

You can get a generated query. Within SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) right click on the table and select "Script Table As" from the context menu. You'll see a second menu with "INSERT To." Select that and you'll get another context menu for the destination of your script. Output it to the new query window and you'll see the generated INSERT statement.

I don't want that insert generate script.I want to see which insert query is used in inserting data into the table.

Yes you can do that. Right click on database, then go to 'tasks' and then 'generate script'
There at one of the screen you can specify, generate insert script. it will create insert statement for all records.I think this feature is applicable since sql 2005 onwards...
Another option is to write a query, that generates the statemnt for you. If you are not able, let me know and i'll write that.

I want to see the insert script used along with the data that is used in the creation of that table.Can you please
write any query or procedure for to solve my query.

How does it matter how it was written? I think the only probability of getting it is if it still lies in your cache.

You can't get the actual script used to insert the data or to create the table
The only option is to get it manually from the person who did the action, if he/she still has it

Yes, and it will only work if plan for your query still lies there....
If it is flushed out, you won't getanything and then there is no way to get the query back.

The simplest way to see which query inserts data into a table is by running SQL Profiler.To see what queries have already been executed , try using DMV's, e.g.
select * from sys.dm_exec_cached_planscross apply sys.dm_exec_query_plan(Plan_handle)

Totally different.
If the inserts have already happened, the only thing you can do is query the cache through the dynamic management objects (DMO) such as sys.dm_exec_query_stats. If you want to watch the inserts as they occur, yeah, you can use Profiler, but don't point the Profiler gui at a production environment, ever. Instead look up how to generate a server-side trace. But, since you're working in SQL Server 2008, an even better option is to use the extended events. They're safer even than a trace, but the output is hard to read.
