function Get-DbaSchemaChangeHistory { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets DDL changes logged in the system trace. .DESCRIPTION Queries the default system trace for any DDL changes in the specified time frame Only works with SQL 2005 and later, as the system trace didn't exist before then .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Database The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server .PARAMETER Since A date from which DDL changes should be returned. Default is to start at the beginning of the current trace file .PARAMETER Object The name of a SQL Server object you want to look for changes on .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: Migration, Backup, Database Author: Stuart Moore (@napalmgram - http://stuart-moore.com) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaSchemaChangeHistory .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaSchemaChangeHistory -SqlInstance localhost Returns all DDL changes made in all databases on the SQL Server instance localhost since the system trace began .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaSchemaChangeHistory -SqlInstance localhost -Since (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) Returns all DDL changes made in all databases on the SQL Server instance localhost in the last 7 days .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaSchemaChangeHistory -SqlInstance localhost -Database Finance, Prod -Since (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) Returns all DDL changes made in the Prod and Finance databases on the SQL Server instance localhost in the last 7 days .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaSchemaChangeHistory -SqlInstance localhost -Database Finance -Object AccountsTable -Since (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) Returns all DDL changes made to the AccountsTable object in the Finance database on the SQL Server instance localhost in the last 7 days #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential] $SqlCredential, [object[]]$Database, [object[]]$ExcludeDatabase, [DbaDateTime]$Since, [string[]]$Object, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } if ($Server.Version.Major -le 8) { Stop-Function -Message "This command doesn't support SQL Server 2000, sorry about that" return } $TraceFileQuery = "select path from sys.traces where is_default = 1" $TraceFile = $server.Query($TraceFileQuery) | Select-Object Path $Databases = $server.Databases if ($Database) { $Databases = $Databases | Where-Object Name -in $database } if ($ExcludeDatabase) { $Databases = $Databases | Where-Object Name -notin $ExcludeDatabase } foreach ($db in $Databases) { if ($db.IsAccessible -eq $false) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "$($db.name) is not accessible, skipping" } $sql = "select SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') AS ComputerName, ISNULL(SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName'), 'MSSQLSERVER') AS InstanceName, SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS SqlInstance, tt.databasename as 'DatabaseName', starttime as 'DateModified', Sessionloginname as 'LoginName', NTusername as 'UserName', applicationname as 'ApplicationName', case eventclass When '46' Then 'Create' when '47' Then 'Drop' when '164' then 'Alter' end as 'DDLOperation', s.name+'.'+o.name as 'Object', o.type_desc as 'ObjectType' from sys.objects o inner join sys.schemas s on s.schema_id=o.schema_id cross apply (select * from ::fn_trace_gettable('$($TraceFile.path)',default) where ObjectID=o.object_id ) tt where tt.objecttype not in (21587) and tt.DatabaseID=db_id() and tt.EventSubClass=0" if ($null -ne $since) { $sql = $sql + " and tt.StartTime>'$Since' " } if ($null -ne $object) { $sql = $sql + " and o.name in ('$($object -join ''',''')') " } $sql = $sql + " order by tt.StartTime asc" Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Querying Database $db on $instance" Write-Message -Level Debug -Message "SQL: $sql" $db.Query($sql) | Select-DefaultView -Property ComputerName, InstanceName, SqlInstance, DatabaseName, DateModified, LoginName, UserName, ApplicationName, DDLOperation, Object, ObjectType } } } } |
