SQL Audits

1. sys.server_audits

  • What it is:
    Lists all server-level audit objects.
    An audit is the top-level object that defines:

    • Where to write logs (file, Windows event log, security log).

    • Audit name, status (started/stopped), and file path.

  • Usage:

    SELECT name, audit_guid, type_desc, on_failure_desc, is_state_enabled
    FROM sys.server_audits;
    

     This tells you what audit sinks exist and whether they’re active.


2. sys.server_audit_specifications

  • What it is:
    Links server-level actions (like LOGIN events, role changes, etc.) to a server_audit.
    Example: “Audit all failed logins → send to Audit1”.

  • Usage:

    SELECT name, audit_action_name, audited_result, is_state_enabled
    FROM sys.server_audit_specifications;
    

     Shows what is being captured at server scope.


3. sys.database_audit_specifications

  • What it is:
    Similar to sys.server_audit_specifications, but per-database.
    Captures things like SELECT, INSERT, EXECUTE inside a database.

  • Usage:

    SELECT name, database_principal_id, audit_action_name, is_state_enabled
    FROM sys.database_audit_specifications;
    

     Lets you see what actions are logged inside a specific DB.


4. sys.traces

  • What it is:
    Lists SQL Server Profiler traces (old-school tracing, predecessor of Extended Events).
    Default trace is usually enabled to capture schema changes, errors, etc.

  • Usage:

    SELECT id, path, is_default, start_time, stop_time
    FROM sys.traces;
    

     Useful for checking if the default trace is running.


5. sys.dm_xe_sessions

  • What it is:
    Lists running Extended Events (XE) sessions.
    XE replaced Profiler/Trace for lightweight performance monitoring and auditing.

  • Usage:

    SELECT name, status, start_time
    FROM sys.dm_xe_sessions;
    

     See what XE sessions are active (like system_health).


6. sys.server_file_audits

  • What it is:
    Lists only file-based server audits (subset of sys.server_audits).
    Includes info about file path, rollover, max size, queue delay.

  • Usage:

    SELECT audit_id, file_path, max_file_size, max_rollover_files
    FROM sys.server_file_audits;
    

     Useful when your audit is writing to .sqlaudit files.


 Putting it together

  • sys.server_audits → Defines audit targets (where to log).

  • sys.server_audit_specifications → Defines what server-level actions to audit.

  • sys.database_audit_specifications → Defines what database-level actions to audit.

  • sys.traces → Shows legacy Profiler traces.

  • sys.dm_xe_sessions → Shows Extended Events sessions (modern tracing).

  • sys.server_file_audits → Details of file-based audit storage.

Partitioner Parallel Programming

 

void RenderParallel(Scene scene, Int32[] rgb)
{
int totalPixels = screenHeight * screenWidth;
Camera camera = scene.Camera;
Parallel.ForEach(Partitioner.Create(0, totalPixels), range =>
{
for (int i = range.Item1; i < range.Item2; i++)
{
int y = i / screenWidth, x = i % screenWidth;
Color color = TraceRay(
new Ray(camera.Pos, GetPoint(x, y, camera)), scene, 0);
rgb[i] = color.ToInt32();
}
});
}

Step in Parallel.For

 

Parallel.For does not provide direct support for such patterns. However, Parallel can still be used to implement
such patterns. One mechanism for doing so is through an iterator approach like that shown earlier for iterating
through linked lists:

private static IEnumerable<int> Iterate(
int fromInclusive, int toExclusive, int step)
{
for (int i = fromInclusive; i < toExclusive; i += step) yield return i;
}

A Parallel.ForEach loop can now be used to perform the iteration. For example, the previous code snippet for
iterating the even values between 0 and upperBound can be coded as:

Parallel.ForEach(Iterate(0, upperBound, 2), i=> { /*...*/ }); 

such an implementation, while straightforward, also incurs the additional costs of forcing the
Parallel.ForEach to takes locks while accessing the iterator. This drives up the per-element overhead of
parallelization, demanding that more work be performed per element to make up for the increased overhead in
order to still achieve parallelization speedups.

public static void ParallelForWithStep(
int fromInclusive, int toExclusive, int step, Action<int> body)
{
if (step < 1)
{
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("step");
}
else if (step == 1)
{
Parallel.For(fromInclusive, toExclusive, body);
}
else // step > 1
{
int len = (int)Math.Ceiling((toExclusive - fromInclusive) / (double)step);
Parallel.For(0, len, i => body(fromInclusive + (i * step)));
}
}

 @from nvarchar(max) = NULL,   -- Use this parameter to filter the rows based on a filter condition (using WHERE)     
 @include_timestamp bit = 0,   -- Specify 1 for this parameter, if you want to include the TIMESTAMP/ROWVERSION column's data in the INSERT statement     
 @debug_mode bit = 0,   -- If @debug_mode is set to 1, the SQL statements constructed by this procedure will be printed for later examination     
 @owner varchar(64) = NULL,  -- Use this parameter if you are not the owner of the table     
 @ommit_images bit = 0,   -- Use this parameter to generate INSERT statements by omitting the 'image' columns     
 @ommit_identity bit = 0,  -- Use this parameter to ommit the identity columns

/***********************************************************************************************************     
Procedure: sp_generate_inserts  (Build 22)     
                                               
Purpose: To generate INSERT statements from existing data.     
  These INSERTS can be executed to regenerate the data at some other location.     
  This procedure is also useful to create a database setup, where in you can     
  script your data along with your table definitions.     
     
NOTE:  This procedure may not work with tables with too many columns.     
  Results can be unpredictable with huge text columns or SQL Server 2000's sql_variant data types     
  Whenever possible, Use @include_column_list parameter to ommit column list in the INSERT statement, for better results     
  IMPORTANT: This procedure is not tested with internation data (Extended characters or Unicode). If needed     
  you might want to convert the datatypes of character variables in this procedure to their respective unicode counterparts     
  like nchar and nvarchar     
       
     
Example 1: To generate INSERT statements for table 'titles':     
       
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles'     
     
Example 2:  To ommit the column list in the INSERT statement: (Column list is included by default)     
  IMPORTANT: If you have too many columns, you are advised to ommit column list, as shown below,     
  to avoid erroneous results     
       
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @include_column_list = 0     
     
Example 3: To generate INSERT statements for 'titlesCopy' table from 'titles' table:     
     
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', 'titlesCopy'     
     
Example 4: To generate INSERT statements for 'titles' table for only those titles     
  which contain the word 'Computer' in them:     
  NOTE: Do not complicate the FROM or WHERE clause here. It's assumed that you are good with T-SQL if you are using this parameter     
     
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @from = "from titles where title like '%Computer%'"     
     
Example 5:  To specify that you want to include TIMESTAMP column's data as well in the INSERT statement:     
  (By default TIMESTAMP column's data is not scripted)     
     
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @include_timestamp = 1     
     
Example 6: To print the debug information:     
       
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts 'titles', @debug_mode = 1     
     
Example 7:  If you are not the owner of the table, use @owner parameter to specify the owner name     
  To use this option, you must have SELECT permissions on that table     
     
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts Nickstable, @owner = 'Nick'     
     
Example 8:  To generate INSERT statements for the rest of the columns excluding images     
  When using this otion, DO NOT set @include_column_list parameter to 0.     
     
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts imgtable, @ommit_images = 1     
     
Example 9:  To generate INSERT statements excluding (ommiting) IDENTITY columns:     
  (By default IDENTITY columns are included in the INSERT statement)     
     
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts mytable, @ommit_identity = 1     
     
Example 10:  To generate INSERT statements for the TOP 10 rows in the table:     
       
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts mytable, @top = 10     
     
Example 11:  To generate INSERT statements with only those columns you want:     
       
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @cols_to_include = "'title','title_id','au_id'"     
     
Example 12:  To generate INSERT statements by omitting certain columns:     
       
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @cols_to_exclude = "'title','title_id','au_id'"     
     
Example 13: To avoid checking the foreign key constraints while loading data with INSERT statements:     
       
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @disable_constraints = 1     
     
Example 14:  To exclude computed columns from the INSERT statement:     
  EXEC sp_generate_inserts MyTable, @ommit_computed_cols = 1
