Object:Altered Event Class

The Object:Altered event class indicates that an object has been altered; for example, by an

ALTER INDEX, ALTER TABLE, or ALTER DATABASE statement. This event class can be used to

determine if objects are being altered; for example, by ODBC applications, which often create

temporary stored procedures.

The Object:Altered event class always occurs as two events. The first event indicates the Begin

phase. The second event indicates the Rollback or Commit phase.

By monitoring the LoginName and NTUserName data columns, you can determine the name of

the user who is creating, deleting, or altering objects.
