Last time a Stored Procedure was executed

Question

On Sql Server 2000, is there a way to find out the date and time when a stored procedure was last executed?

Answer 1

Not without logging or tracing, I'm afraid

Answer 2

If a stored procedure is still in the procedure cache, you can find the last time it was executed by querying the sys.dm_exec_query_stats DMV. In this example, I also cross apply to the sys.dm_exec_query_plan DMF in order to qualify the object id:

declare @proc_nm sysname

-- select the procedure name here
set @proc_nm = 'usp_test'

select s.last_execution_time
from sys.dm_exec_query_stats s
cross apply sys.dm_exec_query_plan (s.plan_handle) p
where object_name(p.objectid, db_id('AdventureWorks')) = @proc_nm
