Hi,
Thanks for the links . But My problem will not be solved using any of
them. Here is my problem statement in short :
1. I have my application data distributed across different tables in the
database in the normalized form.
2. When the user perform any CRUD( 1 unit operation) then the data that is
operated is obtained by performing the joins of multiple tables.
3. Every module of my application is programmed to perform joins as per its
needs directly on the tables.
4. I have read of "INSTEAD OF triggers" in SQL server 2000. They seem to be
useful but they will require huge code restructuring as I will have to
create a partitioned view for its use and point every thing in each module
to that view rather than the database tables directly.
So is there any other way to perform audit trail in such situation ?
Looking forward for the response.
Thanks ,
Parag Kulkarni
