Hi

I need to create a which could generate the
following details
servername
dbname
recoverymode
compatibility
location of data file
location of log file
last date of full backup
last date of diff. backup
last date of tran backup

These are the columns in my table
i have have two scripts which are written seperately

1..SELECT DBname=name
,Status= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(name,'Status'))
, Updateability= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(name,'Updateability'))
, UserAccess= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(name,'UserAccess'))
, Recovery= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(name,'Recovery'))
,Version= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(name,'Version'))
from sysdatabases

This above script can get the half part of the requirement

2 .

select 'Databases and backups on server ' + @@servername
select SUBSTRING(s.name,1,40) AS 'Database',
CAST(b.backup_start_date AS char(11)) AS 'Backup Date ',
CASE WHEN b.backup_start_date > DATEADD(dd,-1,getdate())
THEN 'Backup is current within a day'
WHEN b.backup_start_date > DATEADD(dd,-7,getdate())
THEN 'Backup is current within a week'
ELSE '*****CHECK BACKUP!!!*****'
END
AS 'Comment'

from master..sysdatabases s
LEFT OUTER JOIN msdb..backupset b
ON s.name = b.database_name
AND b.backup_start_date = (SELECT MAX(backup_start_date)
FROM msdb..backupset
WHERE database_name = b.database_name
AND type = 'D') -- full database backups only, not log backups
WHERE s.name <> 'tempdb'

ORDER BY s.name

and this can get the remaining information..

I am not being able to merge this two..could any please help me on thsi

[code]
select 'Databases and backups on server ' + @@servername
select SUBSTRING(s.name,1,40) AS 'Database'
,Status= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(s.name,'Status'))
, Updateability= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(s.name,'Updateability'))
, UserAccess= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(s.name,'UserAccess'))
, Recovery= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(s.name,'Recovery'))
,Version= convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(s.name,'Version'))

,CAST(b.backup_start_date AS char(11)) AS 'Backup Date ',
CASE WHEN b.backup_start_date > DATEADD(dd,-1,getdate())
THEN 'Backup is current within a day'
WHEN b.backup_start_date > DATEADD(dd,-7,getdate())
THEN 'Backup is current within a week'
ELSE '*****CHECK BACKUP!!!*****'
END
AS 'Comment'

from master..sysdatabases s
LEFT OUTER JOIN msdb..backupset b

FROM msdb..backupset
WHERE database_name = b.database_name

ORDER BY s.name

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
