What do you want to do with said trigger and why do you have to use CLR?

There is information in Books Online on DDL triggers and lots of articles on CLR programming. In addition to Gail's questions, you should do some research and ask specific questions, not an open one about how to do all of some project.

Hi

Actually I am Developing a Database Auditing Infrastructure. I am working in SQL Server 2005.

So my main focus of area is "SQL Triggers" and "stored Procedures". I ask for help on CLR routine i thought it would help me.

If you can me some other suggestion. I would be thankful to you.

Secondly can you suggest me a way that is there any possibility of writing Generalized DML triggers on all tables of database or not ???

Thanks for fast Reply

Regards

Anything dealing with data is probably better written in T-SQL than CLR, unless you have a good reason to need the CLR

It is possible, but I would strongly recommend against it. Generic triggers tend to perform poorly, leading to slow data changes, deadlocks and all other such unpleasant things.

What I've done in the past is to have a stored procedure that can, using dynamic SQL, create triggers on all tables. That way you only have to write the code once, but the triggers are specific to their tables and hence reasonably fast.

Both a trigger and cdc (change data capture) can be enabled to monitor changes to a table. When would you use each of them ?
