| Hi,Again a pretty basic question. I have a backup copy of an MS sql server 2005 database. Does the server 2005 keep a log of deleted records (when, which table etc.)? And if so, how can I get to them?thanks! |

| What recovery model are you using? Do you perform transaction log backups? Are you willing to purchase a third-party product to read the transaction log?Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |

| Good luck on that. There's a reason why vendors write tools like these. If it were easy to figure out, no one would purchase these tools, therefore vendors wouldn't write them.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
