Audit DROP DATABASE

  • We inadvertantly had 6 DB's DROPPED from a non-prod environment. How can I tell who (or what process) dropped them?

    SQL Server Log has nothing. Event Viewer has limited info.

    Is there a default trace that would capture this or is this an explicit trace event to be activated?

    thx in advance

    If you didn't have some trace running at the time, you can't.

    Not on SQL 2000.
