    Unless you had a trace or trigger present when the changes were made, you cannot go back and get details of what happened.

    Not true. If you have all the transaction log backups and the full backup(s) they go with ApexSQL has a recovery tool that can reconstruct all DML actions (and even script out the DML and/or an UNDO script). Tell them TheSQLGuru sent you. 🙂

    Except that a tran log read is not going to get you all queries run (as discussed above ;-)), just the changes made. OP wasn't clear whether he wants all changes (as in title) or all queries run (as in first post).

    The former, sure (with an expensive 3rd party tool) assuming full recovery and no deleted log backups.

  • ahh. I took "...manipution have done in sql..." to mean DML only. 🙂

    BTW, I consider $1500 (list) VERY inexpensive when it comes to being able to find/unwind "holy SH1T..." updates/deletes in a production system. :hehe:
