I'm trying to create an Extended event session that captures DDL, but ignores temp table Creation;
my script is very simple, but i'm looking for an operator that does not seem to exist:
i want NOT LIKE instead of [sqlserver].[like_i_sql_unicode_string]
any idea how i filter the objectname ?
CREATE EVENT SESSION [DDLChanges] ON SERVER
ADD EVENT sqlserver.database_created(
ACTION(sqlserver.client_app_name,sqlserver.client_hostname,sqlserver.database_name,sqlserver.nt_username,sqlserver.sql_text,sqlserver.username)),
ADD EVENT sqlserver.object_altered(
ACTION(sqlserver.client_app_name,sqlserver.client_hostname,sqlserver.database_name,sqlserver.nt_username,sqlserver.sql_text,sqlserver.username)),
ADD EVENT sqlserver.object_created(
ACTION(sqlserver.client_app_name,sqlserver.client_hostname,sqlserver.database_name,sqlserver.nt_username,sqlserver.sql_text,sqlserver.username)
WHERE ([sqlserver].[like_i_sql_unicode_string]([object_name],N'''#%'''))),
ADD EVENT sqlserver.object_deleted(
ACTION(sqlserver.client_app_name,sqlserver.client_hostname,sqlserver.database_name,sqlserver.nt_username,sqlserver.sql_text,sqlserver.username))
ADD TARGET package0.event_file(SET filename=N'DDLChanges.xel',max_file_size=(200))
WITH (MAX_MEMORY=4096 KB,EVENT_RETENTION_MODE=ALLOW_SINGLE_EVENT_LOSS,MAX_DISPATCH_LATENCY=30 SECONDS,MAX_EVENT_SIZE=0 KB,MEMORY_PARTITION_MODE=NONE,TRACK_CAUSALITY=OFF,STARTUP_STATE=OFF)

Try filtering on database_id, or is the db_id the id of the connection rather than the table?

doh simple and obvious;

the database_id =2 , regardless of what database context that was creating the temp table.

Thank you Gail!
