I ran a large query (~30mb) which inserts data in ~20 tables. Accidentally, I selected wrong database. There are only 2 tables with same name but with different columns. Now I want to make sure that no data is inserted in this database, I just don't know how.

If your table has a timestamp you can test for that.

Also sql-server keeps a log of all transactions.

See: https://web.archive.org/web/20080215075500/http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/how-do-i-recover-data-from-sql-server-s-log-files.html

This will show you how to examine the log to see if any inserts happened.

Best option go for Trigger

Use trigger to find the db name and table name and all the history of records manipulated
