Hi there,

How can I decode the transaction log without buying an expensive piece of software?

How do the people who write such software know how to decode the tr log?

Cheers,

I.

What do you want to decode?

BTW Log Explorer isn't really all that expensive, considering the time and effort it undoubtedly took to create it in the first place.

I have some values in a database that I'm completely baffled as to how they happened to get like that.

I wanted to look over the transaction and see how the records have changed so I can ultimately debug the application making the modifications.

DBCC LOG is what to use to get the information, but I've never been able to get it to work. I believe there are some examples in the forums here. I would strongly recommend using Log Explorer.
