example code:


declare @temp table
(id int,
t_text varchar(10)
)

insert into @temp (id, t_text) values (1, 'ten')
insert into @temp (id, t_text) values (2, 'eleven')

select * from @temp

update @temp
	set t_text = 'twelve'
where id = 2

select * from @temp

is it possible to see which records have been changed/updated without running select. Is there a function or procedure to see update/insert?

thank you in advance

p.s.: i'm using SQl server 2000 / 2005

In 2005, you can use OUTPUT directly after the update to see certain fields. See UPDATE in BOL (Books Online).
