Hello,
I want to know a way to view the logs created by a MSDE database. I want to see information like number of users connected, number of connections, data modification operations etc. where do i start looking for this information?

How do i control the logging feature in a MSDE database. I suppose it is configurable but not sure where to look at to change the setting.

Please help!

There are no such info in sql server log, you can use sp_who2 to list user connections. To dig in db transaction log, you need third party tools.

Thanks for the reply.
Are you saying that that i cannot control the the information logged into MSDE? For example can i not say sql server log only "error" or "info" messages?
Pls throw some light.

Thanks again!

if you want to see what changes have been made to your data then implement auditing.

also SQL Express is a free version Of SQL Server 2005.
think about using it since it offers a lot of new stuff compared to MSDE

You have some options but not much control.

You can enable/disable login auditing, can modify system messages to enable/disable logging them in sql server log.
