    This is not a trivial task.  Start here.

    If that is insufficient for some reason, then buy a product such as Apex.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Additionally, auditing wouldn't quite accomplish what you're looking for, as a server / database audit can't be directly written to a table.  You'd have to create a process to read the audit files and save them into a table.

    I tried doing something along these lines, it didn't work too well (it also wasn't a requirement in my situation, so I stopped working on it.)
