SQL Server Log

  • Hi all

    Can anyone please tell me What and How information can be extracted from SQL Server Log?

  • Depends on what you mean. Officially, the only thing you can do is backup or restore, SQL provides no built in means to edit or view the logs. A good thing in general. There is a 3rd party product called Log Explorer that lets you view and edit a log file.

  • Thanks Andy. I have just used its latest version. The only thing bothers me is that it is capable of tracking NTHostName and UserName but by adding a table name 'Lugiment_Profiler' to your selected database and then probably adding a trigger that fires at every transaction, which is performance costly for database I am working with.

    Thanks again.
