Hi Guys!
What's the best way to keep an audit trail of every insert, update, and delete of a certain table? Any example code out there? I'm thinking in terms of a trigger for each event, for instance, the update trigger would insert a new record into the audit table with a field for each column in the deleted table and a field for each column in the inserted table.
Thanx
Dave
Hi,
Is there anyway I can audit the data imported by BCP or DTS into the table ?
Thanks,

Hi folks. Any ideas on the best way to creat an audit trail for ms sql 2000?
I want to capture all tables affected by UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE queries.
Any help would be appreciated!
Many thanks!

A table that stores all [updated | deleted] transactions in a database
i.e.
TableName, TableId, ColumnName, ValueType, NewValue, OldValue, DateChanged
or
A copy of each individual table, which could add up to a lot of tables
Hi...A much lamented question, I guess..I'm trying to create a simple audit trail.log the changes to an SQL 2000 table, so that they are written into amirror table. The entire record, only the updated one, i.e. if sayonly one field changes, the audit table will be inserted with onerecord that has one field changed. if the record has been deleted, itstill will be written.I'm not worrying about additional fields to the audit table containingdescriptive flags of what action took place yet. I just want themirror image for starters.I got the script of the 'create table' off Query analyzer. created theaudit table.the trigger looks like this:CREATE TRIGGER dt_tbl1_auditon tbl1for insert, update, deleteASinsert into tbl1_auditselect * from insertedthe table has about 50 fields or so, so I tried to make do with *'s.didn't work, so I tried copying and pasting the explicit list of fieldnamesinstead (though I'm not sure why it needs that if the two tables areidentically structured).in either case, if I update any field on the audited table, I get thiserror:(after getting the warning that the results may take a long time toprocess etc, the original table has over 100,000 rows)"another user has modified the contents of this table or view,the database row you are modifying no longer exists in the databasedatabase error: insert error:column name or number of supplied values does not match tabledefinition"I'm not sure what's wrong, the two tables are identical (I copy pastedthe create table script with no changes). no other users except me onthis database.i've removed all constraints and indexes from the audit table.thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe're looking for a solution to an audit trail issue. Our business people are looking to track each column value that changes(before and after images) for every table on our database as well as the userid that changed the data and when it was changed. Are there any methods that have been employed by other sites to track this level of detailed changes without resorting to triggers for each table and has anyone worked out a way for this audit trail writing to be handled asynchronously within SQL Server?

I have a Mailout table with a MID, ADDRESS, CITY, POSTCODE linked to another table called History which contains events that are associated with each Mailout record. I need to create an audit trail based on the MID of the mailout table that would tell me how many records are currently in event 1,in event 2 etc.
I'm thinking of creating an audit trail table that would store the data as well as create triggers to check on any change(add/deletions/updates) of the status of each record.
Is this the best way of doing it? Or are there any other ways of achieving an audit trail?

I tried to implement triggers for filling audit-trail table on this way.Everything works fine as long as I don't update the primary key field value.When I try to update PK value, an error occures.The code is the following:CREATE TRIGGER NameOfTheTriggerON dbo.TableName FOR DELETE, INSERT, UPDATEAS BEGINdeclare@type varchar(10) ,@UpdateDate datetime ,@UserName varchar(128)if exists (select * from inserted) and exists (select * from deleted)select @type = 'UPDATE'else if exists (select * from inserted)select @type = 'INSERT'elseselect @type = 'DELETE'select @UpdateDate = getdate() ,@UserName = system_user/* this code is repeting for every field in the table*/if update (TableName) or @type = 'DELETE'insert dbo.AUDIT_TRAIL (TableName, FieldName, OldValue, NewValue,UpdateDate, UserName, type)select 'TableName', convert(varchar(20), 'FieldName'),convert(varchar(1000),d.FieldName), convert(varchar(1000),i.FieldName),@UpdateDate, @UserName, @typefrom inserted ifull outer join deleted don i.PrimaryKeyFieldName = d.PrimaryKeyFieldNamewhere (i.FieldName<> d.FieldName or (i.FieldName is null and d.FieldName isnot null) or (i.FieldName is not null and d.FieldName is null))ENDHow to slve the problem with updated (changed) primary key values?What is the typical code for audit-trail triggers?Thanks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I'm trying to create a audit trail trigger. I'm new to SQL Server. For simplicity sake, let's just say I have a table like the following:
Table1
FieldA
FieldB
And the audit table is:
Table1_Audit
FieldA
FieldB
Operation (Insert/Update/Delete)
Operator (Username)
Op_Date (GetDate())
Ok, simple enough. Now, I'm using Studio Express and there are several templates available. By default this is the one I get:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TRIGGER <Schema_Name, sysname, Schema_Name>.<Trigger_Name, sysname, Trigger_Name>
ON <Schema_Name, sysname, Schema_Name>.<Table_Name, sysname, Table_Name>
AFTER <Data_Modification_Statements, , INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE>
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for trigger here
END
GO
Not sure if I need all of this information? Examples I've found on the web look very confusing...ugh. I looking for simple (if possible).
Many thanks in advance,
Mark
Hi All....
First a bit about me. I'm a developer in Atlanta. My background is mostly in Unix, but am working in NT at this job. I am gearing my skills towards enabling products on the web for people. I have experience in PHP, HTML, Javscript, C/C++, MySQL, a little Oracle and now getting fimilar with SQL Server.
What i'm trying to do....
Track all changes to data in the DB.
Why i'm doing it....
Banking application, any account changes need to be logged with which employee made the change.
How I want to do it....
Currently the app is a web app that accesses VB for the backend. There is a single SQL Server user accessing the DB. I want to use triggers on INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE to copy the new row to any audit table. This will be identical but with user, action and time.
Problem....
Single user connection will hide acutal app userid. I want to have the VB app get the "SQL Server Session ID" (if one exists) and store the app_userid in a table with the session ID for cross reference by the trigger.
Question:
Does SQL Server have a "session id" for multiple connections for a single user? Where is it located? Can VB access this information?
Thanks,
Brian

1. Does SSRS is J-Sox Compliant, an application must have audit trail feature. For Reporting printing, it should facilitate reports' data logging process.Â
2. Information like WHO and WHEN printed the report and WHAT data was viewed?
Does anybody know how to generate a new identity value from within SSIS. Can anybody point me to a good example using a script component?
Thanks you very much!!!!

I am writing a web application that uses a Teradata database as the primary data source. While Teradata is great as a data warehouse and managing Terabytes of information it doesn't do as well when update or inserting. I was thinking of using a local SQL2005 MDF file to hold a few reference tables and an audit table to collect usage information and exception database to capture any errors.
There could be a few thousand users of the web application but no more than a couple hundred at a time.
I just trying to get some opinions on these technique. I am open to all comments and suggestions.
Thank You
I have made a server security audit and specify from database audit specification to audit "select" on a certain user and on a certain table. I logged in by this user and made the select statement..when i run this query
"select * from sys.fn_get_audit_file('d:Auditaudit1*',null,null)"
It return a value at which time the query has done
after 15 minutes i repeated the same action, i run the audit query and the same result is showed off on the panel.is it suppose to return a list of values by how many times this user has made the select statement on that table ? for example at 5:00 pm then 6:00 pm and so on
I need help...here is the problem.Last weekend, the servers in our datacenter where moved around. After thismove, and maybe coincidental, 1 server is performing very poor. Afterrunning a trace with SQL Profiler, I saw the problem which was laterconfirmed with another tool for SQL server performance monitoring. It seemsthat all connections to the SQL server (between 200 - 400) are doing a login/ logout for each command that they process. For example, the user'sconnection will login, perform a SELECT, and then logout. This is not a..NET application. The client software was not changed, it is still thesame. The vendor has said that it is not supposed to do that, it issupposed to use 1 connection that log's on in the morning and logs off atthe end of the day or whenever the user exits. 1 user may have severalconnections to the database.At times, the server is processing over 250 login / logouts (avgeraged for30 second period). Has anyone seen this problem? I have the server inAUDIT FAILUREs only. The server has become very unresponsive, things thattook 3 seconds now take over 15 seconds.Any ideas???

I see a lot of example, but where do these example procedures go. Likedeclare (whatever)?below is an example i read. Where do you put this to make it execute, is itthe view screen or the stored procedure screen?I'm using MSDE now to learn, and I can't get nothing working except simpleselect query statements.In the northwind example (northwindcs), how would I do a parameter querylike this:Have a dialog box ask user to enter customerid to bring up. (in a query nownot a form)Also, how would you check if a certain customerid exist? Example, CHOPS isone customerid. If I wanted to use a query to check if it exist, and returnno records, but just do an action (like add a record) if it didn't exist,how?[color=blue]> CPU SQL> (ms)> -- Convert to varchar (implicitly) and compare right two digits> -- (original version -- no I didn't write it)> 4546 select sum(case right(srp,2)> when '99' then 1 when '49' then 1 else 0 end)> from sf>> -- Use LIKE for a single comparison instead of two, much faster> -- Note that the big speedup indicates that> -- CASE expr WHEN y then a WHEN z then b .> -- recalculates expr for each WHEN clause> 2023 select sum(case when srp like '%[49]9' then 1 else 0 end)> from sf[/color]I tried some variations of this, and indeed it seems that there is a costwhen the expression appears with several WITH clauses. I tried a variationof this, where I supplemented the test table with a char(2) column, so Icould factor out that the WITH clauses themselves were not the culprits.CREATE TABLE realthing (realta real NOT NULL,lasttwo char(2) NOT NULL)goINSERT realthing (realta, lasttwo)SELECT r, right(r, 2)FROM (SELECT r = convert(real, checksum(newid()))FROM Northwind..Orders aCROSS JOIN Northwind..Orders b) AS fgoDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE right(realta, 2)WHEN '99' THEN 1WHEN '49' THEN 1WHEN '39' THEN 1ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 20766 ms.goDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN right(realta, 2) LIKE '[349]9' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 8406 ms.goDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE lasttwoWHEN '99' THEN 1WHEN '49' THEN 1WHEN '39' THEN 1ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 920 ms.goDBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSgoDECLARE @start datetimeSELECT @start = getdate()SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN lasttwo LIKE '[349]9' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)FROM realthingSELECT datediff(ms, @start, getdate()) -- 1466 ms.Thus, when using the char(2) column LIKE is slower despite that thereis only one WHEN condition. So indeed it seems that right(realta, 2)is computed thrice in the first test.Another funny thing is the actual results from the queries - they aredifferent. When I ran:select count(*) from realthing where lasttwo <> right(realta, 2)The result was about half of the size of realthing! I can't see thatthis difference affects the results though.Now, your article had a lot more tests, but I have to confess thatyou lost me quite early, because you never discussed what is theactual problem. Since you are working with floating-poiont numbersthere is a great risk that different methods not only has differentexecution times, but also gives different results.--Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, Join Bytes!Books Online for SQL Server SP3 athttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/techin.../2000/books.asp

I was just wondering if there are any examples on how to work with the Script Editor, and more specifically how to use the DirectRow method? I've seen some examples that say that the editor automatically creates the methods DirectRowTo<output buffer>, but it doesn't say how that is done. If I just specify Row.DirectRow(output buffer #), it says that the method is protected.
Any help or just pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

I have been creating SSIS packages programmatically and have run into somewhat of a dead end. I have found the examples provided with the SQL 2005 install very helpful, but they only cover setting up three tasks: Sort task, OleDB Source and a Flat File Destination.
Does anyone have any examples or knows of examples of using the Merge Join task and the Conditional Split task?
I'm doing it all programmatically and so far I'm having trouble finding much in the way of documentation or examples.
Any help would be great!
