Question

I want to list down the queries executed before the ‘AFTER UPDATE TRIGGER’ triggered up to n levels. The listing will be done within the TRIGGER itself.
The n can be 4 or less.

Any pointer or if listing can be done by any other way will be helpful?

I have to debug the front-end and back-end if bug is there.

–Edit–

Actually a cell is being update each time as empty. I have to track it down. It happens very rarely.

–Edit–

Or say how to get the last n queries executed by the user.

–Edit–
I did as follows:

SELECT top(15) dest.text AS [Query]
        FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs
        CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest
          --inner join  sys.sysprocesses
          -- on sys.sysprocesses.sql_handle=deqs.sql_handle
        ORDER BY deqs.last_execution_time DESC

The code after — seems to be working where as the full code gives the all users code executed queries. I comented them because It is heavy for the server.

The connecting Question is here
SQL cell wise trigger
(Which is the flow comes before the issue posted as ‘ .. triggered, upto n levels?’)

If you are on SQL Server 2008 you can use extended events to get the whole TSQL call stack. See my answer here for example code.
