Hi All,Recently some one deleted some rows from a table. I was asked to find out who did it. Since the log has not been backed up since the time the DB was created I took the help of undocumented Table valued function ::fn_dblog() which gives me the contents of the active portion of the log.
I filtered on AlocUnitName and operation column.
Allocunitname being the table name and OPERATION being the 'LOP_DELETE_ROWS'.
I was looking fior the column TRANSACTION SID to find out the SID of the user that started the transaction that deleted the rows. I did get it.
But the problem is the value of the SID is 0x01 which is the dbo user. It is evident that a server level login with sysadmin privilages did the delets. Is there any way I can find out the server login mapped to the dbo user?
Any idea would be appriciated.
0x01 is always SA. Not going to provide much in the way of help there I'm afraid.
