How To Track Changes In A Database?
Situation: 2 servers: 1 production, 1 test. While my application is running on the production server, I want to develop on the test server. After a few weeks, I want to update the application, and have to update the database structure on the production server also with the most recent one from the testserver, but without deleting the current data on the production server. I create/modify all tables in SQL Server 2005 via Management Studio. The application is built in VS2008 Pro. I'm using SubVersion (SVN). I can let Management Studio generate scripts for every change and store them manualy, but that's a little bit too much work. What I want is a sort off version control solution. A solution that a service running on the background tracks every change on a specific database on my test server, and stores them as T-SQL code in a repository. Then I can collect all those T-SQL scripts, and run them against the production server. Is there some solution for that?

Is There A Way To Track User Access To Db?
I need to be able to track which users and the number of times a user connects to a particular SQL Server database. I have a simple SQL Server database that users query (SELECT only) using an Access 2000 front-end. I do not have any control over the front-end so my only tools on the database side. I can't use 3rd party software, just SQL Server. Is there any way? Thanks.

Track Duplication Of Records

Any help is appreciated. Cheers

Keeping Track Of Table Changes ...
Hi We need to keep track of all changes that are made to our tables. The changes will be saved in a table that records: - the table in which the change was made - the name of the field that was changed - the old data for the field - the new data for the field etc.. I've seen a few examples that record the name of the table that was modified but none that record done to the field level. Can anybody give some guidance? Thanks.. Wayne

Recomendations For Keeping Track Of Changes
Let's say I develop a 'version 1' of a program/database and ship it to some customers. Then I continue work on version 2 with some databasechanges etc. When version 2 is shipped to the customers, they need a way to upgrade their database from version 1 to version 2. I guess this is easiest done with one/several sql-scripts. What I want is your opinion about the best way to keep track of the changes between version 1 and 2. Here are two ways with pros and cons I've thought of: 1 - Keep manual track of every change (index, changed columns, relations etc) and update a scriptfile with all changes. Pros: Full control of what is happening Cons: Pretty much extra work and risk of missing some changes. 2 - When version 2 is ready, run some third party tool to get a diff between the databases Pros: Fast and easy Cons: The DB-changes may need to be applied in a special order, with default values, etc etc and I'm not sure all tools handle this in a good way...? So... what is your recomendations? I'm sure this must be a headace in every development project? Regards Andreas

Query Question. On The Right Track, I Think...
Hi. I have a large "view" I'm working with, between 250-280 fields [not sure exactly]. Within this view there are a few fields with similar information. For example, LocationID corresponds to the Address, City, and State, but those three are seperate fields. I also have a field with the most recent date and time that the address was used. There can be multiple records for any address if the address was used more than once in any given month. What I need to do is pull each distinct address-if there is more than one instance of that address, the instance that was most recently touched, along with all the other 200+ corresponding fields. I started off thinking I could sort the address ascending, and then the time descending, and just pull the first hit of each address by using the DISTINCT keyword in my query, but it keeps getting thrown off by all of the fields, and ends up not being distinct. I was using something like this: SELECT DISTINCT Address, BUnit, ResultDateTime FROM dbo.vw_ReportData WHERE BUnit='Blah' ORDER BY Address, ResultDateTime DESC Can anyone shed some light on this issue? That where statement needs to be in there [or its effect anyhow]. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris

Track Database Users
I am an advanced user of MS Access and other databases but relatively new to SQL Server. I am utilizing SQL Server Express to analyze a database that was created by another entity. I am interested in looking at any specific record in any table and seeing who created that record, what date/time the record was created, who edited the record, when that edit occurred, etc. I don't see any such fields in the database. Would the designer of the database have to have explicitly added such functionality, or is this information available but just hidden from the novice's view? Thanks for your help.

Track Query Execution
I have a strong feeling that this isn't possible but I thought I might as well ask... I'm developing a database application (SQL Server 2000 backend) where the client and the server is separated over a slow network connection (satellite). There are parts in the application where I will have to query a large resultset so I was wondering if there is a way to determine the percent complete of a query so I can put a progress bar on the interface so the user can see it loading data instead of having a frozen form. I thought about spliting up the query into different ones and update the bar once each separate one is complete but I'd rather not do that because in the application development environment I'm working in, I have to close the resultset and reopen it every time I do a query... unless this isn't a big deal but I'm under the impression its something to avoid. Thanks!

Track Select Statements.
different Users are running select statements under their own login. they have readonly permission to the database. My goal is to track all those queries and send notification which tables were opened and which columns were displayed...Looks like I need trigger on select statement for the table...( Unfortunetely it doesn't exists) I collect all those statements in trace file and in the night time I stop trace, move file data to table and then step by step try to massage sql queries using VB.net... Most of those queries are so complicated, have derived tables inside and it is really hard to parse these sql statements... 1.If anybody has an idea how to say: User B opened table tbl_A col_B twice per today...using different methodology rather then go through SQL.(Other words how to create an event on a table which will be fired in a case of request select any column of that table?) 2.If somebody know where we can take good parser which will help with this job? Thanks

SQL 2005: Keeping Track Of Database Changes
I'm actually taking Microsoft's 2779 and just finished a lab where wekept track of our changes to the database.However, I'm not happy with the scripts interface because it does nottell me the chronological order of my changes to the database.Could someone share with me their technique for keeping track ofdatabase changes?I'm actually thinking a set of tables would be best, because sometimesyou want to know what database object you made a change to and othertimes you want to know when you did something...

Interesting SQL Problem : How To Track Movement History
Hello everyone,There's an interesting SQL problem I've come across that I'm currentlybanging my head against. Given the following table that contains itemlocation information populated every minute :location_id date_created=========== ============5 2000-01-01 01:00 <-- Don't need5 2000-01-01 01:01 <-- Don't need5 2000-01-01 01:02 <-- Need7 2000-01-01 01:03 <-- Don't need7 2000-01-01 01:04 <-- Need5 2000-01-01 01:05 <-- Need2 2000-01-01 01:06 <-- Don't Need2 2000-01-01 01:07 <-- Need7 2000-01-01 01:08 <-- Needhow would you generate a result-set that returns the item's locationhistory *without* duplicating the same location if the item has beensitting in the same room for a while. For example, the result setshould look like the following :location_id date_created=========== ============5 2000-01-01 01:027 2000-01-01 01:045 2000-01-01 01:052 2000-01-01 01:077 2000-01-01 01:08This is turning out to be a finger twister and I'm not sure if itcould be done in SQL; I may have to resort to writing a stored-proc.Regards,Anthony

How Should I Create A Table To Track Equivalent Relationships?
I'm building an application that tracks courses and equivalent courses. For example, say I have course A which a user should get credit for if they have taken equivalent courses. So if a user has taken (course B or course C) AND (course D or course E) he should get credit for Course A. What's the best way to setup a SQL table to create these type of equivalent relationships?

Using Triggers To Track Changes In A Single Audit Table
Hi, I am looking to track any changes made to any table within a db into a single audit table which will hold as fields: the table that has been updated/inserted, the field that was changed, its primary key, the old value and the new value specific to that field, and the date it was updated/inserted. From what I have read, it does not look like this is possible with a trigger on table as it is not row specific and that I might have to control this from the business layer (vb.net). I am correct in this assumption, or is there a way of tracking specific data changes through triggers. thanks Welly

Table Structure To Track Member Activity On Website...
Working on a "social networking site" and would like to have something that records a member's interactions within the site.So for instance if a member uploads a photo, I would like to record it and then display it as "[Member] added photo" with a link to the photo. Also, if a friend is accepted as a friend "[Member1] is now friends with [Member2]" and also if a member posts a comment on the forums "[Member] posted message in [ForumName]" with link to post.This is very similar to Facebook's News Feeds and MySpace Friend Updates.The only way I can think of having this is having an Activity table with a field for each different Id I want to record and an associated list of tracked Actions:Activity:idmemberIdactionTypePhotoIdMember2IdForumIdThen there would be the ActionType tableactionIdNameThe biggest problem I see with this solution is that I would need to add a new field in the Activity table for each different type of activity I would like to track. This could get pretty big as I begin to track more and more activity items.Is there some way I can generalize this. - Andy
