I want to run a query on each and every database that is change in whatsoever DDL change possible.

For example, if I have 10 databases, A, and B, and ... in my SQL Server instance, and if a developer creates a view in one of them, I want that query to run.

If another developer adds a column to another table in another database, I want that query to run.

Is it possible?

    You can implement DDL triggers on the databases.

  • @stickybit, I know about that. This means that on a server that has more than 200 databases, I need to do something 200 times. I'm looking for something that is at the server-level.

    Then use event notifications. A server level EN can capture database level events. mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2121/…

    Have you considered the default trace or a XE trace?

    Regarding your reply to SMor's original suggestion, you don't have to do something 200 times, it is possible to write code that deploys a change to all 200 databases but you only have to run such code once. That can be achieved in either pure SQL leveraging things like dynamic SQL or a better version of sp_MSforeachdb (e.g. by Aaron Bertrand) or whatever procedural programming language you prefer to iterate over each database.
