Log Explorer

The solution to a variety of database problems is hiding in SQL Server's transaction log

The solution to a variety of database problems is hiding in SQL Server's transaction log. We say "hiding" because the transaction log is an undocumented binary file. Log Explorer is the first and only product able to use the log information to selectively recover data, analyze user and application problems, and audit activity; all without run-time overhead.

How it works

Log Explorer helps to pinpoint errant user or application behaviour by analyzing the native SQL Server logs to provide a complete history of all changes made to the database. Powerful filters help narrow the focus of problem-solving activity by selecting database changes based on time ranges, application or user id, or specific tables or rows in the database. Problems that once required hours or even days of debugging and monitoring can often be resolved in minutes.

Log Explorer uses the database transaction log to help to resolve Microsoft SQL Server database problems including:

System Requirements

The server component may reside on any system running SQL Server 7.0 or 2000 (Intel-compatible CPU). The minimum machine configuration for the server component is the same as that for SQL Server. The client component may co-reside with the Server component or may reside on a separate, networked machine running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

PS: It is always recommended you can get all green ticks with SSW Diagnostics - the free utility to check you have all software patches
