logging user operations

  • Hallo

    to comply local Goverment security regulations, I need to trace user operations on some databases, including accesses and simple SELECT statements and including administrators' ones.

    I don't need to trace details on edited data, just the database and possibly the object(s) involved.

    Is out there on the market any tool to trace such events? Or should I work it out by SQL Profiler or similar?

  • You could enable C2 auditing and process the trace file to persist the data you want to.

    (have a look at BOL for its content)

    Maybe even my little article "SQL Server and SOX" can get you started for this quest.

  • A trace would be the best way to do this. C2 can add lots of overhead, but you'd have to determine if that is the scope of data you needed. If you needed less, set up a custom trace to do less.
