determine db last access date?

Is there a way to tell the last time a database was accessed?
You can determine the last time a user logged into the SQL server, but I
don't know of any out of the box way to determine last DB access time.

|||Hello Jason,
I agree with Linchi that if you did n't configure track on the database, we
cannot determine the last access time since this informaiton is not saved
automatically.
You may want to take a look at BOL for some explanations as well as
visiting at
http://www.sql-server-performance.co...filer_tips.asp
There is one column "databaseid" that you could add in profiler so that you
could get databaseid information of each event. You could get the name of
database from id by using:
select name from master..sysdatabases where dbid = <databaseid>
I understand it shall be convenient to store this information, and I will
forward your feedback to the product team. In the meantime, I also
encourage you submit via the link below since they'd like to hear your

If you have further questions on the issue, please feel free to let's know.
Thank you.
