How To Track Changes In A Database?
Dec 18, 2007
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?

I have a requirement. I am having a database which is having views,procedures and tables. Many users are having access to the database. If i want to track all the schema changes happening in the database how to achieve that? As in i have used some tables in a procedure and someone might change the column or drop the column. So it is going to have impacts on my procedure. I need a trigger which tracks all the changes done in a database and the impacts those changes are going to make.

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.

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...

We have a particular database sat on SQL Server 2012 box along with about 20 other databases.
What I require is a method/Script/Audit that will simply track anyone who logs (successfully / unsuccessful) into this one particular database on the server (The single database is the key as the end user does not want information on any of the other databases that sit on the server), it also has to log time the attempt was made and it must track the logins via SQL Server or the application itself that is attached to the database.

I am using Northwind database to Create a view showing every order that was shipped to Spain. Name the destination column 'DestinationSpain'. Include code that checks if the view already exists. If it does, it should be dropped and re-created.
Here is my script:
use Northwind
GO
/*STEP 2, #1*/
/* does it exist, if so drop it */
if exist (select * from dbo.sysobjects
where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[OrdersToSpain]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsView') = 1)
drop view [dbo].[OrdersToSpain]
GO
/* Create the View */
create view "OrdersToSpain" AS
SELECT
Orders.OrderID AS Order_ID,
Orders.CustomerID AS Customer_ID,
Orders.OrderDate AS Ordered_Date.
Orders.ShippedDate AS Shipped_Date,
Orders.ShipCountry AS DestinationSpain
FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
WHERE Orders.ShipCounty LIKE '%SPAIN%'
GO
Here are the errors I am getting:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'select'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 6
Line 6: Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure OrdersToSpain, Line 7
Line 7: Incorrect syntax near '.'.

I want to create a page(using GridView) where it will detect changes made in the database and display it for Administrator observation. I've created a table name history for this purpose.
History
guid (uniqueidentifier)
dateCreated(datetime)
lastDateUpdated(datetime)
changesMade(varchar(50)) ---- eg; dropdownlist
oldValue(varchar(50)) ----- compaq
newValue(varchar(50)) -----dell
updateBy(varchar(10)) <------ username of registered user
comNo(int) = foreign key for Computer table
History data will insert data whenever a changes made. Could anyone advise and direct me how to do this function. I was thinking of using stored procedure to insert the data. Thanks in advance.

I have an application that has a SQL back end, and I want to be able to track who is accessing a record so that no one else can access it at the same time. I was going to do this with a table or application state, but how can I avoid keeping files locked when someone abandons a session? Any Ideas?

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..

Hi
I have a stored procedure for which i need to track the changes.
I wanted to know which user has updated the stored procedure and what all changes are done to it.
I thought of getting these details from the transaction log, but looks like sql server 2000 doesnt have any log reader.
Kindly help
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have a table which consists of 27,000 of records. Among these records, there is one record which
is a duplication of another record.
Is there any way to track this record from the same table by the SQL statement ?
I have been advised to use the following statement but it does not help:
Select count(*) As Duplicate, columnname from tablename group by columnname
Scrolling 27,000 lines of records with bare eyes is very painful.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Hi all,
I have a data of applicants. Everyday we dump this data into SQL server. Now I need to generate reports everyday so that we can track how many records get updated everyday. Now the thing is that the applicants are in various stages. So my reports need to track the how many applicants changed from stage "abc" to "pqr" and how many changed from "pqr" to "xyz". Now it is not necessary that all the records change stages everyday.
thanks in advance,
Rohit

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.

In my Sql Server 2012 I have the following table in a database
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HumanResource](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[IsHired] [bit] NULL,
[Address] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[Score] [bigint] NULL,
[Code] ....
Considering that sql server Update is a chained Delete and Insert, the first row is the delete row capture and the second one is the insert row capture.
But I don't understand why the address is tracked as NULL when I update other fields.

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!

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

Hello All,
I have a problem concerning keeping track of a value within a query.
I have a table that tracks invoices recieved and payments made.
For each invoice number there may be multiple payments made against it.
I need something that will check and make sure that each invoice number has its payments equal to its received amount.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

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

Is there any method to track stored procedure changes?
Basically I want to save a copy of stored procedure definition in my own table whenever a stored procedure is being created/updated/dropped from the database.
Thanks.
P/S: Table to keep the copy
CREATE TABLE USP_HISTORY(
UserID nvarchar(128),
ActionType varchar(10),
ActionDate datetime,
SPName nvarchar(128),
Definition nvarchar(MAX)
)
ActionType stores value like Create or Alter or Drop

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

Hi,
I have a table full of items which can be searched.
I also have another table with the ID of each item and columns for no of times details shown, no of times saved etc.
What I would like to do is increment a value in this second table for each item every time it is returned in a search.
What would be the best way to do this?
(Im using a Stored Procedure)
Thanks in advance,
