T-SQL Query to find last run status of scheduled Jobs

Here is a T-SQL query to find the last run status of all the scheduled jobs in SQL Server.
This query will be handy when you are not able to access the "Job Activity Monitor"

USE msdb
GO
SELECT DISTINCT SJ.Name AS JobName, SJ.description AS JobDescription,
SJH.run_date AS LastRunDate, 
CASE SJH.run_status 
WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed' 
WHEN 1 THEN 'Successful' 
WHEN 3 THEN 'Cancelled' 
WHEN 4 THEN 'In Progress' 
END AS LastRunStatus
FROM sysjobhistory SJH, sysjobs SJ
WHERE SJH.job_id = SJ.job_id and SJH.run_date = 
(SELECT MAX(SJH1.run_date) FROM sysjobhistory SJH1 WHERE SJH.job_id = SJH1.job_id)
ORDER BY SJH.run_date desc

Create and schedule SQL Server jobs with SSIS Packages

In my previous post, we have seen how to use SQL Server Import and export wizard to import or export data and save the package.
When you save the package that is generated using this wizard, it is actually an SSIS package.
You can also use Visual Studio to create complex SSIS packages which performs the data extraction, transformation, maintenance of database, cleanup, etc...
