No.
No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |

| If it was a recent action, check the Schema Changes History in the Standard Reports.It works of the default trace that starts automatically when SQL Server starts.The log_*.trc files are in your LOG directory.This may help you. |

| SQL Server 2005 has DDL triggers that can be used to audit Data Definition Language code like altering a table.Google for it and you'll find code samples - I use one on the DEV servers. Really useful for developers. |

| Thanks (all) I've created a method now via DDL_DATABASE_LEVEL_EVENTS on a trigger writing to a table. |
