Sometime we may need to find out which date some perticular database was restored and by whom? Use following query to find out this information.

WITH LastRestores AS ( SELECT DatabaseName = [d].[name] , [d].[create_date] , [d].[compatibility_level] , [d].[collation_name] , r.*, RowNum = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY d.Name ORDER BY r.[restore_date] DESC) FROM master.sys.databases d LEFT OUTER JOIN msdb.dbo.[restorehistory] r ON r.[destination_database_name] = d.Name ) SELECT * FROM [LastRestores] WHERE [RowNum] = 1
