Hi, Thanks in advance.
Does any one have SQL Script to find out when "data" was modified/updated in the table.
Regards.

You need to create that data. Either create a trigger to capture the data you want to an audit table. Or add a modified date column to the table and have the trigger add the date there. Or require that column be populated when an insert/update is performed.

Shwetha -

Unless you've set up columns in or triggers on your tables to accept this type of information or are runnning a "log explorer" type tool there is no way to tell who updated a specific row in a table.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
