The SQL Server Log File Viewer not only helps in detecting corruption roots in SQL database files but also helps in forensic analysis of a SQL Server log file to a greater extent. My experience of working with SQL transaction log analyzer was awesome as it helped in resolving a case by analyzing the LDF file of SQL Server 2000 thoroughly. I would suggest this software solution to all forensic investigative authorities as well.

I had some table's in my database which was accessible to many users. While I was making a report I inqueried records from my tables and I found that there are some records which are missing from my tables. I tried fn_dblog() but it is not helpful as it do not provide nay relevant information. At last I tried this SQL transaction log viewer and tracked all users who deleted records from my database tables.In fact, the freeware tool is also available that provide the preview of Log file details.
