Hi All,
There has been new assingment that has come up by the client to find the list of the database that was last accessed in sql server 2000.
As far as I know there is NO way to find this out, apart from just verifying through windows explorer. THe last modified date option.
have any one has a solution on this..
Help will Appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

By last accessed do you mean last modified or just reading it?

If this is to figure out if a db is still being used, just alter your db option "AUTO_CLOSE" to ON.

This way, you will find a "database opened" message in your sqlserver errorlog file

I would be better looking at the active sessions through Activity Monitor rather than setting that option. Since it would have an impact on the Performance..
