Which Is Better For An Audit Trail
Apr 27, 2004A 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
Audit Trail...
Jul 20, 2005Hi...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

Jul 13, 1999We'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?

Jan 20, 2006Hi!
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?

Jul 23, 2005Hello.I tried to implement audit trail, by making an audit trail table with thefollowing fileds:TableName,FieldName,OldValue,NewValue,UpdateDate,t ype,UserName.Triggers on each table were set to do the job and everything was fine exceptthat in the audit trail you couldn't know which row exacltly wasupdated/inserted/deleted...Therefore I introduced 3 additional columnes(RowMark1, RowMark2, RowMark3) which should identify theinserted/updated/deleted row.For example, RowMark1 could be foreign key, RowMark2 could be primary key,and RowMark3 could be autonumber ID.But, when I have several rows updated, RowMark columnes values are identicalin all rows in the audit trail table!

Jan 21, 2008Hi 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,

Database Audit Trail Question....
Jan 2, 2001Hi 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
Any Good Audit Trail Examples?
Jun 17, 2002Hi 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

it is taken from SQL2K5 SP2 readme.txt. Anyone have idea what to do to implement this ?
Our sp2 is failing. we suspect the above problem and researching it.we are running on default instance of SQL2K5 on win2003 ent sp2
"When you apply SP2, Setup upgrades system databases. If you have implemented restrictions on the ALTER DATABASE syntax, this upgrade may fail. Restrictions to ALTER DATABASE may include the following:
Explicitly denying the ALTER DATABASE statement.
A data definition language (DDL) trigger on ALTER DATABASE that rolls back the transaction containing the ALTER DATABASE statement.
If you have restrictions on ALTER DATABASE, and Setup fails to upgrade system databases to SP2, you must disable these restrictions and then re-run Setup."

Transact SQL :: Database Audit Specification On Specific Users
Mar 30, 2015Currently I am using SQL server 2012 and would like to implement database audit specification on specific users in my database. These are the users in my database name Payroll :-
PayrollAndy.Bred - db_owner
PayrollArpit.Shah - db_owner
Payrollwebapp - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE
web_payroll - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE
In my database audit specification settings, I would like to capture any SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE and EXECUTE command for users PayrollAndy.Bred & PayrollArpit.Shah only since they owned db_owner access. However, I am unable to capture any single command from both users. I do not want to put 'Principal' as public since I just want to capture both users activity.
Is it I miss out anything? Is it because of windows login account?

Audit Logon / Audit Logoff Problem With SQL 2K
Jan 18, 2006I 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???

Apr 20, 2015In order to feed a fact table of a dwh from a staging table I'm using the MERGE statement in order to control insert and update operations. It is possible that the staging table has duplicate rows respect to the fields controlled in the merge condition:

Does the MERGE statement allow to manage this case or do I need to filter data from the staging table before to write them into the fact table?

Transact SQL :: Trigger Execution With OLEDB Connection From In-house Application
Oct 28, 2015issues with triggers in Sql Server 2014.
A few weeks ago I've done a SQL Server migration from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2014.It was a bit tricky but anything worked fine.
I have some legacy VB6 (Visual Basic 6) applications written in house which worked with Databases on the old SQL server 2000.Surprisingly, these applications worked well after the upgrade to SQL Server 2014 without having to change a piece of code.
Now, some users tell me that they receive some unusual message when saving data from these legacy applications.After investing for a few hours, I discovered that triggers are not executed when those users try to save data from grids or forms in their applications.Trying to reproduce the INSERT statement in SQL Server Management Studio, the triggers run well.From the application, they don't.
These applications connect to Database Server thru OLEDB connection with the following ADO connection string :
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password={password};User ID={user};Initial Catalog={db};Data Source={datasource}.the {user} is a true SQL account who have read/write/delete access in the databases.
On the web there is a lot of questions involving the same issue, but only from SSIS.I found some articles about an OLEDB connection parameter named FastLoadOptions with a value of FIRE_TRIGGERS, but nowhere how to put it in the ADO OLEDB connection string.
how to reactivate the "normal" use of triggers from an ADO OLEDB connection ?Either with some obscur parameter in the connection string or options somewhere in the SQL Server 2014.

Apr 1, 2008Hi,
I have place an question, but in some other place in the same forum.
My apologies for that
I wanted to implement mirroring
I hereby let u know the steps
1. Created a database in Principal server named Mirror1 and one table named tblMirror1.( no values inside the table)
2. Repeated the same in Mirror in Witness
3. Selected the Principal server's database -->right click-->tasks-->mirror
4. from the left hand panel selected Options -->recovery model-->full
5. selected Mirroring from left hand panel-->configure secuirty-->entered mirror and witness name--Success
6. When I click on start mirroring I have an error stating
" Alter failed for database mirror1"
"Database mirroring cannot be enabled because Mirror1 database may have bulk logged changes that have not been backed up etc...."
7. followed this one
BACKUP database mirror1 TO DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK'
got the answer as
Processed 160 pages for database 'mirror1', file 'Mirror1' on file 2.
Processed 1 pages for database 'mirror1', file 'Mirror1_log' on file 2.
BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 161 pages in 0.318 seconds (4.147 MB/sec).
According to sources
Run a restore of this backup on your mirror.
This can be done through the GUI or using a T-SQL command.
The database restore must use the NO RECOVERY option, so the database stays in a loading state.
Also the database name on the mirror must be the exact same name as the principal
RESTORE TestMirror FROM DISK='C:Backup TestMirror_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY
Hence did the below
RESTORE database mirror1 FROM DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY
ERROR
