Hi,

I want my sql-server to inform me, whenever an "alter table" or "create table" is excuted. I thought it might be a good idea to use the alerts of the sql server agent for that, but did not find an event number for it. Can anyone help me with that?

TIA

That's a pretty cool idea, unfortunately alerts only work with errors or performance events.

You can create a profiler trace for SQL commands, but it doesn't appear you can limit it to ALTER/CREATE TABLE only. You'd get every SQL statement, and then you'd have to filter through them looking for the ones you want, THEN fire off a job to send the actual alert.

You *might* be able to create a custom error message that can take advantage of the SQL Server alert system, but I can't see how to attach it to a CREATE or ALTER TABLE statement.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. You may want to try these companies:

They have some database auditing tool that might be able to do what you're looking for.
