    Hello,

    I was asked today if AFTER THE FACT, could i tell how many records were inserted into a particular table. I have looked at the various dmv's but i don't see what would tell me that.. the default trace does not track inserts from what i know and i didn't have profiler running at the time. is there anyway to do this after it has happened?

    Thank you so much!

    Hi Juanita,

    Does your table have any datetime columns that track when records have been created?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately it has 3 fields and none of them are date fields to help determine when added

    If you have a backup from last night you could restore it to a separate server/database and compare the rows...
