Is there a sys database or view in Master or MSDB that will let me know when a database was dropped?

I see it on the 8th and now it is gone. Someone dropped it in between. and i want to find out when.

I guess there is a chance it was dettached too, so any ideas on that too.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Not specifically unless (if you have 2005) you had a ddl trigger set up. Look them up if you're on 2005 as they can be very handy for auditing this kind of thing in the future.

HTH,

I assumed as much, thanks for the reply.

In case it was detached, do a file search on the server where it used to be. Search for *.mdf files (all files with extension mdf). Look through the list to see if you find the one you need.
