Dears,
I need some ideas about how to export from 2-3 sql server tables ( filled with app messages) and import into windows event viewer application/security ?
Thanks,
Hadrian

I don't think you can import those into the event logs. You would probably need to read the rows and write those to the application log. One possibility would be using xp_logevent but it also writes to the sql error log.

What are you ultimately trying to do?

If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

there is an app who insert error messages into 2-3 tables and other application who analyse the event viewer logs . The task is to import into event viewer the messages from sql tables .

I have nothing better than Sue's suggestion about using xp_logevent.

I guess my question would be is can the developers modify their code to write to the windows log, in addition to the tables?

I'm unsure but there aren't developers in order to make app's changes.
