    I am aware of that.

    However you can deduce who is doing what based on the entries in the default trace.

    How? How can you deduce who did a simple delete on a table from anything that appears in the default trace? I'm asking not as a challenge... I'm asking because, if you've actually been able to pull that off, I'd REALLY like to know because it would be incredibly useful.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
