Nice Sophos DB query's

Placebo

I though it would be nice to share some of the query's I made to collect data from the Sophos 4.5 database.

Web content scanner
Description:
Shows all the Internet Explorer BHO web content scanner detections in one list sorted by date of detection.
Query:
(SELECT tb1.name As Computer, tb2.ThreatName, tb2.FullFilePath, tb2.FirstDetectedAt AS FirstDetectedAt
FROM ComputersAndDeletedComputers AS tb1, Threats AS tb2
WHERE tb2.FullFilePath LIKE 'h__%'
AND tb2.ComputerID = tb1.ID)
UNION
(SELECT tb1.name AS Computer, tb2.ThreatName, tb2.FullFilePath, tb2.FirstDetectedAt AS FirstDetectedAt
FROM ComputersAndDeletedComputers AS tb1, ThreatsArchive AS tb2
WHERE tb2.FullFilePath LIKE 'h__%'
AND tb2.ComputerID = tb1.ID)
ORDER BY FirstDetectedAt DESC
Example Result:
PC1000 - Mal/Badsrc-C - h__p://evilwebsite.com - 18-7-2010 23:29

If you have some query's please share.

If you are a database guru and have comment on the way I constucted my query please let me know :smileyhappy:

    Hi,

    Great idea for a thread!  I notice a couple of things.  

    You could use the View ThreatInstancesAll which is a union of Threats and ThreatsArchive which will simplify your query.  You can still use the Outstanding flag in a where clause to filter accordingly.

    You might want to use the function GetUTCDate() as all the timestamps are in UTC.

    I would also suggest making queries with no lock hints to reduce the impact on any lengthy queries.  E.g.

    select * from computersanddeletedcomputers with (nolock)

    As soon as I think of any useful queries I'll post them here. 

    Thanks,

    Jak
