Is there a way to a set trigger that will activate once a new table is created and will get the new tables name?
I was able to come up with the query below but it only gets the first query by alphabetical order, not by date created



CREATE TRIGGER CreateTable
ON DATABASE
FOR CREATE_TABLE
AS
DECLARE
@table varchar(max);
SELECT top 1 @table = [name] FROM sys.tables
insert into NewTable values(@table)
;
end

          You don't look at sys.tables for that... even if you got the last one created, on a busy system, how would you know that someone else didn't create one more recently? With TOP comes ORDER BY so the following would likely work most of the time, but it is a completely bad idea:



          SELECT TOP (1) @table = name FROM sys.tables ORDER BY create_date DESC;


          No, instead, you need to extract the table name from EVENTDATA():



          CREATE TRIGGER CreateTable
          ON DATABASE
          FOR CREATE_TABLE
          AS
          BEGIN
          DECLARE
          @sql nvarchar(MAX),
          @EventData xml = EVENTDATA();

          ;WITH x(s,o)
          AS
          (
          SELECT
          @EventData.value('(/EVENT_INSTANCE/SchemaName)[1]', 'nvarchar(128)'),
          @EventData.value('(/EVENT_INSTANCE/ObjectName)[1]', 'nvarchar(128)')
          )
          INSERT dbo.NewTable(ColumnName)
          SELECT QUOTENAME(s) + N'.' + QUOTENAME(o)
          FROM x;
          END
          GO
