Question

Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005, is there any way to see when a table has been created?

And is there any way to see when was done the last INSERT in a table?

And what about the last ALTER TABLE date?

Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation.

Answer 1

You can get the creation and last modification date by querying sys.tables

SELECT  create_date, modify_date
FROM    sys.tables

AFAIK, there’s no way out of the box to know when the last insert took place. You will have to restort to either using triggers or set up auditing on your tables.
