Audit SQL account usage

  • What is the best way to audit a users (SQL account) activity on a particlular database? 

  • If it is a one off trace for a relatively short amount of time, I would use 'sql profiler'. You can set the filters to a database and a user, hence narrowing down the tracing.

    It is best to monitor a few events rather than the lot.

    Otherwise you could setup a server side trace. See sp_trace* in books online.

  • Profiler is the best way. Cumbersome and only for point use.

  • Hi there

    I want to imlement something similar. How did you go in the end?

    Your help/advice is appreciated.

    Thanks
