Had a situation where needed to get an idea of when a database was last used. Created a quick query to generate select statements for all the date columns in all the user tables in the database.
SELECT C.[name] "table_name" , A.[name] "column_name" , B.[name] "column_type" , 'union select ''' + C.name + '.' + A.name + ''' "column_name", max([' + A.name + ']) "maxdate" from [' + C.name + ']' "cmd" FROM sys.columns A INNER JOIN sys.types B ON A.user_type_id = B.user_type_id INNER JOIN sys.tables C ON A.object_id = C.object_id WHERE B.name like '%date%' ORDER BY C.name , A.name
