Generic SQL Audit Trail

A generic audit trail based on triggers and dynamic SQL.

The SQL trigger has been designed to analyze your table. So, the database schema can change over time and it still works fine.

Whenever you add new table(s), you don't have to run again the SQL script. The database trigger tr_database_audit listens for new table(s) and add the audit trigger to new table(s).
