::FN_DBLOG - Retreiving [row data]

Subj: ::FN_DBLOG - Retreiving [row data]
Hello
While attempting to retrieve [row data] column using ::FN_DBLOG
an empty '0x' value is passed back.
The retrived record does contain row data. It can be seen when using DBCC LO
G.
However - DBCC LOG is not as versatile as ::FN_DBLOG(): which supports
a standard SQL query. In addition - DBCC seems to be a more resource
consuming
piece.
Please do not propse a 3rd party software solution.
I need the [row data] 'as is' in its very basic binary raw format and ::
FN_DBLOG() fits exactly to my needs.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Hillel.Hi hillel,
I don't know exactly what you are looking for but launching this you can
recover the log info:
SELECT * FROM ::fn_dblog(null,null)
--
Please post DDL, DCL and DML statements as well as any error message in
order to understand better your request. It''s hard to provide information
without seeing the code. location: Alicante (ES)

My question is very specific.
In SQL 2000 - there are 2 interfaces by which I can access the transaction
LOG:
DBCC LOG is not a very convinient API in many aspects.
::FN_DBLOG() is much more tempting but - surprisingly - it does not display
the [row data] columns - as seen below:
SELECT [Current LSN],[Transaction ID],[Object Name],[row data]
FROM ::fn_dblog(null,null) where operation='LOP_INSERT_ROWS'
0000000b:0000018b:0002 0000:000005bf dbo
.jobs (1977058079) 0x
0000000b:00000190:0002 0000:000005c1 dbo
.jobs (1977058079) 0x
0000000b:00000190:0003 0000:000005c1 dbo
.jobs (1977058079) 0x
There is data associated with these records - as seen below:
dbcc log(DB5,3,logrecs,'LOP_INSERT_ROWS')
0000000b:0000018b:0002 ...0000:000005bf... dbo.jobs (1977058079)...
0x3000080025004749040000010030004261636B
75705F313931393139313931393139313931
3931393139313931393139
Did I miss something in the ::FN_DBLOG() invocation - or- what...?
Thanks
Hillel.
