I'm trying to find out what tables are being used in a Database.
I don't want the last User but the User and the Dates.
I have a script that return the last user but that is not going to work.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
The following script returns the last user but not all users and the Login Name:
ITH LastActivity (ObjectID, LastAction) AS
(
SELECT object_id AS TableName,
last_user_seek as LastAction
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats u
WHERE database_id = db_id(db_name())
UNION
SELECT object_id AS TableName,
last_user_scan as LastAction
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats u
WHERE database_id = db_id(db_name())
UNION
SELECT object_id AS TableName,
last_user_lookup as LastAction
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats u
WHERE database_id = db_id(db_name())
)
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(so.object_id) AS TableName,
MAX(la.LastAction) as LastSelect
FROM sys.objects so
LEFT
JOIN LastActivity la
on so.object_id = la.ObjectID
WHERE so.type = 'U'
AND so.object_id > 100
GROUP BY OBJECT_NAME(so.object_id)
ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME(so.object_id)

you must have a trace or extended event in place,.

SQL does not capture who ran select statements /users info unless you create something to capture it.

Hmm. I thought that I had a script that did that.
