No it's not urgent at all. Look through the databases log files.

Hi,

SQL

SELECT * FROM sys.tables
     WHERE type='U' AND
     create_date > '2015-06-03 00:00:00.000' OR -- Provide your date
     modify_date > '2015-06-03 00:00:00.000' -- Provide your date

Thanks
Bimal

This only gets created table, not modified ones, right?

See this CP article: SQL Server: Search Stored Procedure Create/Modify Date or Text using T-SQL[^]

Prior to 2008 you could use

SQL

SELECT * FROM sys.tables
where create_date >= DATEADD(DAY, -9, dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
or modify_date >= DATEADD(DAY, -9, dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0))

Potentially you should now use

SQL

SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES  IS_T
INNER JOIN sysobjects  so ON IS_T.[TABLE_NAME] = so.[name]
where crdate >= DATEADD(DAY, -9, dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0))
or refdate >= DATEADD(DAY, -9, dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0))

Caveat - I'm not convinced that refdate is actually the last amended date - you will need to research further

Note the stuff I've done with the date - that is so that the comparison is based on the beginning of the day instead of the time of day that the query is run.
