问题
In SQL Server 2008 with the database recovery model configured to full, are queries such as
select col1,col2,col3 from TableName
logged to the transaction log files.
In other words, can I determine what queries were run on the database on a particular day using the transaction log backups?
回答1:
No. The transaction log does not record queries at all. It just records the info necessary to roll forward or roll back transactions (and a SELECT query would not generate any logged activity at all)
You can try
select top 100 *
from sys.fn_dblog(default,default)
to have a look at the kind of stuff recorded.
If you needed this kind of information you would need to set up a trace / extended events session / audit session to record it. This could be prohibitively heavy weight in most environments.
You could use the following to get a general idea about what adhoc queries are being run.
SELECT text
from sys.dm_exec_cached_plans
cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(plan_handle)
where objtype='Adhoc'
