trigger for db audit purposes - newbie to the world of triggers

Post by Simon » Sat, 24 Nov 2001 01:35:00



Hi All

I use the following proc to try and track data deletions,
my question is how can I improve the imformation it returns as its useless !!!
DELETE    dbo  2001-11-22 16:20:03.473

I would prefer it to return information  such as the nt user name, or workstation ,anything that can identify the user who performed the action rather than the anonymous "dbo"

So any help appreciated

thanks then

Simon

    Did you post the SP code? Anyway look at the system functions
APP_NAME(), HOST_NAME(), SYSTEM_USER etc.

1. Instead of trigger for audit purposes

Group,

It's my understanding that instead of triggers are not really before
triggers but just as the name implies they are substitued for the action.
For an instead of update trigger two tables seem to be created one for
deletes and one for inserts.  We are trying to create an audit log of
changed fields in a table by using an instead of trigger.  The audit table
has all the same columns defined as the original table plus a modification
column.  The audit table also allows nulls on all columns.  We only want to
populate the audit table with the original values of columns that are being
modified and the modification date.   Without using cursors is there a way
to determine what columns are about to be modifed and insert the orignal
data into the audit table?

Thanks,
Danny
