| Two possible avenues are DDL triggers (synchronous processing) and event notifications (asynchronous processing). DDL triggers are probably easier to set up, and offer the ability to undo/rollback the change. Their only downside is that the add transaction overhead. If you're only sending email via Database mail then that's not likely to be a problem.Event notifications use service broker to send a message to a queue. They operate asynchronously and therefore don't add as much overhead as DDL triggers. They also can't roll back the change, and require additional programming to actually send an email (via activation procedures). You also need to manage the queue associated with the notifications, and process messages so that they don't accumulate (using RECEIVE).DDL Triggers: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175941.aspxEvent Notifications: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190427%28SQL.105%29.aspxService Broker: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345108%28SQL.90%29.aspxAll of these entries, and others, are also available in Books Online.The question I need to ask is: why is there so much altering and dropping of tables? That's not a good practice. |
