Is there a reason to do this in a trigger, as opposed to working from a trace? A trace will give you exactly what you're looking for, the proc name and parameter values. What are you doing with the data in the trigger?

DBCC InputBuffer (SPID) will give you the text sent to the SQL Server, if that helps.

You can get the object using the objectid column - but, if you want the actual stored procedure call you need to get it from a trace.

Thank you for the reply.

But, can DBCC Inputbuffer(SPID) in an inline query?

I'm actually trying to monitor the various DML opertaions being performed on a table.

In the update trigger, i'm capturing all the old values of the columns being updated from the table and along with, host name from which query is fired, sql statement used, updated columns (XML format) etc... into a log table.

My query is as below:

INSERT INTO Tablename_Log

SELECT D.Column1 , D.Column2 , D.Column3 , D.Column4 , D.Column5 ,

@FldsUpdated, B.Text

, GetDate(),Host_Name(),A.Session_Id

FROM DELETED D , (select Session_Id, sql_handle from sys.dm_exec_requests where session_id=@@spid) A

OUTER APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(A.sql_handle) B

Thanks And Regards,

Srinivas

No - it just gives you what was sent to the server - I wasn't 100% sure where you were coming from so thought I would mention it just in case! 😀

I don't know a way to get exactly what you're looking for in one solution.

I'd log the update (as you're doing), and run a trace. From time-stamps, SPIDs, etc., you should then be able to join the two together after the fact. Trace will give you exact command run, log will give you the rest of it.

It's not ideal, but it will work.
