simple audit trail

  • We are using SQL 2000 sp2 on NT. We have a need to create and update a simple audit trail. A table would be updated when a user accesses a specific database on our system. All we need is the userid and a login date. I know profiler does this, but I don't want to run it for 2 months.

    Any brillant ideas would be appreciated. A problem we have is the users access the database thru a 3rd party application.

  • You can use server side traces to record this information, then load it into a table.
