Capture data changes in a table

  • Easiet way to we capture data changes to a table.(without using CDC).

    I need to capture previous data and the new data.

    My setup process:

    Table A is reference table

    Table B is copy of reference table. It gets deleted and populated everyday.

    I need to send out an HTML email capturing the entire table highlighting the changed values.

    How can I achieve this.

    Thanks

  • I can see 3 tasks here:

    - capture and record data changes;

    - build a report comparing current data with the previous versions of it;

    - generate HTML file out of that report and send it out.

    Which of these task you need to be helped with?

  • This should suffice for now ->capture and record data changes.

    But looks like I am stumped prior to this task.

    I built multiserver administrative servers.

    My principal server has 1 job which I manually executed once;scheduled at 6:00 AM. Once I did this it created 1 job each on the other 3 mirror servers.So now I have 1 job per mirror server scheduled to 6:00 AM.The job is a simple tsql script with 3 insert statements

    insert into A values('A',1)

    insert into A values('B',2)

    insert into A values('C',3)

    But somehow the table A has 6 rows inserted(when it should only have 3 rows) on all 3 servers making it look like the mirror server jobs executed twice, but the job histories show one 1 execution on all 3 mirror servers.

    Any ideas on what seems to be going on here.

    I will be creating 1 more table ReferenceTable on all the 3 mirror servers which will have similar data as table A .

    The table A on the mirror servers will deleted everyday and populated everyday.

    I need to compare the ReferenceTable on the mirror servers with table A on the respective mirror servers and come up with a report showing discrepancies. I do not want to use CDC or triggers.

    ReferenceTable and Table A will have same definitions on all mirror servers.

    After capturing the discrepancies I need to generate a report showing the same.

    I do not want a report if there are no discrepancies.

    OR

    I can centralize all the table's A data from all servers into the master server where I will compare with the similarly built ReferenceTable as stated above on the master server and generate 1 report showing discrepancies for all servers instead of generating 1 report per server if discrepancies exist.

    OR

    How can schedule a query running in Central Management Server. Is there a sql way of doing it or does it have go the powershell way

    I know the entire process I have explained can be achieved using SSIS and I am well aware of the process..looping through servers..centralizing the data..builld your referenceTable on the server where data has been centralized and then compare and report the discrepancies.But I do not want this option.

    Thanks
