Change Tracking For SQL Server

Jul 20, 2005

Has anyone come across a change tracking tool for SQL Server. Specifically
the scenario I want is the following :

A Production DB needs some modifications to its content.
This tool will copy the DB to a dev environment.
The Dev environment will be 2 copies of the DB, 1 as a control set and the
other the change DB.
The developer makes their changes in the Change DB. They test them out and
then when they decide the changes are ready to pushto production they hit
the "go" button on the tool.
The tool calculates the delta between the Control and the Change DB and then
pushes the changes to produciton

Any ideas

Thanks

SQL Server 2008 :: Change Tracking On Table?

Jun 8, 2015

best way to track changes for a very pesky table.We pull down a table from an Oracle database (via linked server) into our SQL Server on a daily basis. The data in this table is just truncated and reloaded daily. There is no "history" kept in the oracle database and values are not being "updated" its just dropped and repopulated.

So, I have toyed around with CDC and even creating my own custom auditing method but I can't come up with a reasonable solution that doesn't involve a massive audit table that doesn't provide much useful info.

For example, there are two date fields in the table that my customer wishes to have history tracked for. Every day, this table is truncated and reloaded - however those dates may stay the same for many many many months. If I turn on CDC, I will get tons of audit records for a delete and an insert every day but the values for the two date fields may not have even changed.

The table has tons of fields in it but I only care about the 2 date fields for history purposes.Here is a snippet of the table (I took out all the additional fields in the table and just left the two date fields that need to be tracked):

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Fake_Name](
[lin] [char](6) NOT NULL,
[boip_no] [char](6) NOT NULL,
[dt_tc] [varchar](25) NULL,

[Code] .....

method to track changes to this table with it being truncated every day?

Tracking Change History, By Column...

Jun 17, 2004

This one is giving me quite a bit more difficulty then I ever imagined it would...

Essentially I would like to use one table to store the change history for multiple tables. I would like to use an update trigger to check which fields have changed in each record, and write a single record for each field that changed containing the table name, field name, previous value and new value to a history table.

I can't seem to find a good way to do this.

SQL 2012 :: Change Tracking Anchor ID

Dec 30, 2014

How to reset the value of the change tracking anchor id?

CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION()

It's a bigint that increments on every DML operation and I just wondered how you could reset it back to zero. Turning change tracking off and on doesn't seem to do it.

DB Engine :: Risk Of Enabling Change Tracking

Oct 6, 2015

We are developing an application that requires change tracking.We tested it in development and test environments and we are preparing our production deployment.The very first thing that needs to be done is an

ALTER
DATABASE [db_name] SET
CHANGE_TRACKING =
ON (CHANGE_RETENTION
= 2 DAYS,
AUTO_CLEANUP =
ON)

We are holding on this first step because this statement alone executed for a good 4min on the development server. The production environment is many times larger and busier, and we can’t afford service disruption, so we are at the point where we need to understand what’s involved in running this ALTER DATABASE statement.Is there any documentation on what is happening behind the scene when this statement executes such that we can assess the risks of running it in production?

Tracking Table Changes On SQL Server Ce Without Using RDA?

Feb 24, 2007

Hi,

Can anybody let me know if there are ways to programatically track changes made to a SQL SERVER CE table? I am writing a db monitoring tool on SQL server CE which should track any changes made to the table.(Insert update and delete)

We could have done this using triggers on Sql Server 2005. Since triggers are not supported on SQL Server CE, are there any alternate ways to achieve this functionality?

Regards,

Ananth

Tracking Changes To A SQL Server Database During Development

Apr 24, 2008

I am running both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.

Lets say I have a live database that is version 1 for an application. The database is copied onto a development machine to develop version 2 of the application. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the database and then get a program to write all the changes made after the snapshot into sql code. This is so I can run this sql code on the live database and transform version 1 to version 2.

Is there any program/tool that will allow me to do this?

SQL Server 2000: Tracking Down Source Of Failed Logins

Oct 4, 2006

I was checking the logs because of some failing backups and found literally hundreds of enties for failed logins for user sa. This is does not seem to be related to the failed backups, because even after fixing the problem (disk space), the entries continue to pile up.

Needless to say, the information provided in the log is a bit sparse: date and time, source (Login), message (Login failed for user 'sa'.). If that is actually enough to go on, then there must be some way of cross-referencing this information with that found somewhere else. Is there a 'somewhere else' or are there other things I need to do in order to track this down?

I don't suspect any malicious intent, but I'm not ruling it out. My main concern at this point is twofold: to gain a better understanding of system management; to identify and correct the failed login.

Any recommendations, whether tools, documentation, or otherwise are very much appreciated.

Ron.

We are building an inventory management system complete with BOM. It is important to track what employee is updating what tables. Currently all such tables have a Date field that is updated when a change is made, and an EmployeeID field which records the employee making the change.

the history of changes. Only few column values are changed often.

Which is the best way for tracking the changes.

Or any other better.

Note : UI part & SP's will take care of the tracking & no plans for triggers.

Thanks in advance,

Tracking Searches.

May 10, 2008

Hey everybody,

First thank you for all your help thus far. Now I'm stuck again. I've been doing a lot of reading on triggers and logging information into tables but I've been trying to capture how many times someone enters an item into the search box.

So every time somebody types Gumballs into the search box I want to capture it and the name of the person who is currently logged in. Is there away to do this? Maybe this is something that I should be checking in ASP.NET forums?

Thanks in advanced guys!

Turning RDA Tracking Off

Nov 28, 2006

I have a device application that simply needs to upload data to a server. The preferred DB server is Oracle but I've made it work using RDA and SQL Server. The problem I'm having is that it just needs to upload data, whichh I send using the RDA.Push() method. The data arrives just fine, the first time. With every subsequent upload all of the previous data is deleted fromt he server. Apparently RDA is tracking the deletion of the previously uploaded data locally and on the next .Push deleting that data from the server.

My question is: Is it possible to prevent RDA from deleting data on SQL Server? I attempted to delete the rows from the __sysDeletedRows/__sysRowTrack tables but got a "Data is read only" error.

RDA Tracking Options

Oct 4, 2007

I hoipe someone can point me in the right direction here.

I have an application with the following requirements (using SQL CE 2 alas)

A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. Using rda, I need to get the modifications to these tables from the server (add/edit/delete) but the handheld will never update these tables.

A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. The handheld needs to add/edit existing records, and it needs to get any changes from the server.

A set of tables on the server where the handheld needs to import a subset of the records. It needs to add (but not edit) new records, upload the new records to the server, and download any changed (add/edit/delete) records to the handheld.
What tracking options should I use in these 3 cases?

The problem comes in that I need to have some foreign key relationships in the database on the handheld. Since rda munges the names of primary keys (and indexes), I do not know of a good way to add these foreign key constraints. Any suggestions?

Thanks
