how to tell when a database was lasted accessed by general users?

Hi,
In the Subject, by general users, I meant those users who did regular
database operations, like insert, update, delete, etc. rather than the users
who have special privileges to do database maintenance operations, like
backup. We need to clean up those databases that haven't been accessed for
quite a while. Right now, we back up all the databases.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
AFAIK there is not an easy way without either prolonged profiling or
possibly enabling C2 auditing. Alternatively products like auditdb from
Lumigent http://www.lumigent.com/products/auditdb.html would be able to tell
you, and log readers like their log explorer
http://www.lumigent.com/products/le_sql.html would be show updates.
A maverick approach may be to make the database readonly and see who squeals!!
