How do I find who and when a particular table in SQL database 2005 was last updated.
Note that the table does not have a column which stores the last updated datetime.

TIA,
Andy

You would need to read the transaction log to find this out. In order to do that, you would have to purchase a third party tool such as Lumigent's Log Explorer.

If you want to implement a logging mechanism, you can do this via triggers.
