I wanted to know that if there is a way to know that when the last time a table was used i.e. selct, update insert or delete? or accessed?

I have quite a few redundant database objects i.e. tables and sps in one of my database and I need to know programmatically that which one's are obsolete?


I donot want to di g into the applications and seearch each one of them and see which are being actually used and was wondering if there is some utility in sql that can help me.

I have heard that I can use information schema but donot know if that is true? or how uit can be used?

information_schema will not tell you which tables have been accessed recently.

try this: rename the tables you think are obsolete and see if anyone screams.

otherwise you could turn on profiler for a day and look through the trace.
