Finding Last Updated/modified Date
Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2000 and have the following questions:
1. How do I know the last updated (data) date using system objects or any other method?
2. How do I know the last modified date of a table using system objects or any other method?
3. How do I know when a table is last accessed
Any help is appreciated
Thanks for your time and help in advance

Updating Modified/updated Date Column?
If your tables contain created and modified/updated dates what is the best practice for these? 1. Should you use UTC dates? 2. Do you use a default for the creation date (I assume yes)? 3. Should you create a trigger to handle the last update date? Or do you update the column directly in your stored procedures that modify data? Also, as an aside if you store the user who created/updated the record do you store a foreign key reference to the user table or do you store the username as a varchar? Of course I know you'd normally store the fk, but I wasn't sure if the "logging" nature of the column suggests storing a string value.

Can &"Date Modified&" Col Be Automatically Updated W/o Trigger For Each Table?
Hello, I am using SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0. We have a very simple content management system where we have to keep track of date last modified for each row in all of our content tables. I know there's a "timestamp" datatype that is used for replication scenarios, but is there anything similar that I can use to set up a date_modified column for each of my content tables that will automatically update with GETDATE() whenever anything in a given row is updated? Or do I have to create a date_modified column of smalldatetime datatype and write a trigger on update for EVERY single table of content that I have in the database? It seems there should be an easier way to do this than to write 20 triggers for my 20 content tables. Thanks!

Finding Last Updated With A Timestamp
Hi AllI know an SQL Server timestamp seems to be as useful as rocking horse forshow jumping, but I'm hoping you know a 'fudge' to get me round a problem orat least confirm that it isn't possible.I have 2 tables, one called ACCOUNTS and one called STOCK.These tables have the usual ints, varchars, etc and have a timestamp fieldas well.My end user wants to see a simple list of the details in these tables(individually - no joins present here), but sorted from most recentlyupdated to never touched.As the timestamp seems to update each time a transaction hits it I thoughthis would be perfect, but I've had the following mixed results:1) I did a simple ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC, but because the order isalphanumeric I don't get a true 'recent to old' list.2) So I did ORDER BY CAST(TIMESTAMP AS INT) DESC. There is a numeric sortnow, but the timestamp values seem to be hit and miss so that an accountthat I know should be near the top is around about the middle.Do you know how I can achieve the results I want?Is the timestamp a waste of time?ThanksRobbie

Save Updated Date When Row Is Updated
Hi,I want to save the last modification date when the row is updated. I have a column called "LastModification" in the table, every time the row is update I want to set the value of this column to the current date. So far all I know is that I need to use a trigger and the GetDate() function, but could any body help me with how to set the value of the column to getdate()? thanks for your help.

File And Date Modified
Hello all, I was just thinking about a situation which I have been tasked with in that I have a package that is scheduled to run once a day which will import data from a flat file. The data does not have any distinguishing time that can be used to see whether or not it is beyond a last imported time. I was wondering, is there a way to access the date modified of the file? If so I could simply append this time to a table which keeps track of all of the files and the modified dates which I have ever imported for this task.

Win Date Modified Field On MDF Files
I'm an Oracle DBA and just getting used to MS Sqlserver. I noticed that the windows explorer "date modified" field for my database files ( .MDF files ) doesn't change much even though there is activity going on. Sometimes it doesn't change for a week. Is this the expected behavior? Could it be that no data is changing in my database? ( I find that hard to believe) Thanks for any insights.

File - Date Modified Attribute
I am looking to create an SSIS package to import text files into an SQL table. I'd like to import the 'date modified' attribute from the text file into one of the columns as well as the data within the text file. I'm thinking an ActiveX task and variable currently, just wondered if anyone had any other thoughts on how this could be achieved. Thanks

Finding Where My Date Falls In Date Range
Hi; We received a Payment from a customer on '10/10/2007 10:30:00'. i am trying to calculate the commission we would receive from that payment. the commission rate can be edited. so i have to find what the commission rate was when that payment was received. I have a CommisionAudit table that tracks changes in commission rate with the following values. ID | Commission Change | UpdatedOn ---------------------------------------------- 1 | Change from 20->25 | 03/07/2007 09:00:00 ---------------------------------------------- 2 | Change from 25->35 | 10/09/2007 17:00:00 ---------------------------------------------- 3 | Change from 35->20 | 01/10/2007 16:00:00 ---------------------------------------------- 4 | Change from 20->26 | 11/10/2007 10:00:00 ---------------------------------------------- with this payment, as the commission rate had been changed on 01/10/2007 it would obviously be 20%(ID 3). But I need to write sql to cover all eventualities i.e. Before the first and after the last. any help would be most welcome.

Sql Server 2005 And Stored Procedures - Updated Date?
Hi, I was wondering, is it really true that in Sql Server 2005, there is no updated date -property for stored procedures? There is a created date -property, but it's not useful, because stored procedure's get updated often. This is a huge disadvantage for me, and I was really waiting for ms to fix this problem after sql server 2000, but no. Does anyone figured out any solution to this problem? Br, Riika

Finding The Expiration Date
I have a table containing several date fields in which certain events happened, and I need to be able to find the expiration date for renewal. The expiration dates are at the end of the 6th, 12th, or 24th month after the event occurred, depending on the event. Is there a way to return in a query the last day of month x following a date field? For instance, if the date '3/12/2006' is stored in the field for a 12-month expiration, I need to return '3/31/2007'. Any ideas?

Finding First And Last Date From Datepart
I'm kinda stumped.... How would one find the first and and last date in a date range defined by a DATEPART, regardless of the parameter? For Example... DATEPART(wk,7/31/2000) would return 7/30/2000 and 8/5/2000 DATEPART(qq,7/31/2000) would return 7/1/2000 and 9/30/2000 DATEPART(yy,7/31/2000) would return 1/1/2000 and 12/31/2000 TIA, Charles

Finding Table Modification Date
Is there a way to find out when the last modification or change to data in a table occured ? How about the last change of a view ? We'd like to be able to extract data to another table based on a view. Then, at a later date, check to see if the first table or view has changed since the last extract. If not, then we don't need to re-extract the data, we know it hasn't changed.

Linked Reports Not Being Updated When Master Report Is Updated
Since updating to SQL Server 2005 SP2 I've noticed two things about Linked Reports. 1. I do a lot of 'Snapshot' reports. With SP-1 if I updated a master report and made any changes to the Parameter List - it undid all my custom parameter changes on linked versions (restored to the Master Reports Defaults). While this is no longer happening with SP2 - it is still 'unhiding' the parameters. 2. With SP-1 if I added/deleted columns or made other changes to the report structure - the linked reports would pick up on the changes with their next refresh. With SP-2 I'm finding that I have to 'Re-link' the linked report back to the master report before the changes are refreshed. This is very time consuming especially with each report having 8 or more Snapshot reports pre-set up. Am I missing something - or is this a 'bug'... Any help would be appreciated...

How To Find Out Date/time When Row Was Updated Last Time
Hello, we need to track date/time of last update for each record in a table. As we understand it, we can't use field type Timestamp as this type does not use dates/times. Is there any SQL function available which we can bind to a column or do we really have to use triggers? Greetings from Mannheim, Germany Ricardo
