Using sys.table catalog view we can access modified and created date. if any structural changes are made the modified date is updated. Following query may help you.
USE [Database Name] GO SELECT [TableName] = name, create_date, modify_date FROM sys.tables WHERE name ='TableName' GO |
sys.table is show only modify date for structural changes. If we need to check when was the tables last updated or accessed. We can use dynamic management view.
sys. sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats , This DMV returns counts of different types of index operations and last time the operation was performed.
See following query.
USE [codefari] GO SELECT [TableName] =OBJECT_NAME(object_id), last_user_update, last_user_seek, last_user_scan, last_user_lookup FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats WHERE database_id =DB_ID('codefari')-- DBName AND OBJECT_NAME(object_id)='MyBlogs'--Table Name GO |
Note: last_user_update – provides time of last user update
last_user_* – provides time of last scan/seek/lookup
