Reading data from the .LDF file

  • For security and administrative reasons, would like to know that how the data modified firing & committing Transact SQL and later to read data from .LDF file. Based on which analysis can be made.

  • Care to elucidate more on what you are trying to ask?

  • The transaction log is not there for auditing purposes. If you're wanting to audit data changes, look at triggers. DML triggers to capture data changes, DDL triggers to capture schema changes.

    Or, if you're on SQL 2008, look at Change Data Capture or Change Tracking.

  • Gail,

    Just checked out your blog and it looks like you had a pretty good and exciting time here in the USA. Have some fun doing the tourist thing in Seattle, and have a safe flight back to SA.
