I have a table in SQL Server but there is no column to show when the value is inserted into the table. And also I don’t want to create a one.
Is there a way that I can find the time and date when some one has inserted a row into a SQL Server 2008 table or when it is updated?
If you don’t want to modify your existing tables, the only way to go is to create another table to log the activities to. Then you can use
ON INSERT/ON UPDATEtriggers on the source tables and log the time and date of inserts and updates to the log table.
