SQL Server 2008 log of dropped stored procs

I am using SQL Server 2008 and noticed that an important stored procedure was missing.

How do I find out when and by whom a stored procedure was dropped.

Solution

  • First you get location of admintrace: 

    select * from fn_trace_getinfo(NULL)
where property=2
and traceid in (1,2,3,4,5) --sometime several logs available

    and then you check all details:

    select DatabaseName,ObjectName,LoginName,StartTime,* 
from fn_trace_gettable('c:\path_to_log\MSSQL\Log\log_2.trc', -1)
where EventClass = 47  --Object:Deleted
