Question :
I want a query or trigger that will identify what changes done in the database tables from the Third Party Software such CMS etc.
I want to check that which data is modifying with time.
There is no log maintained in that Third Party Software so i want to check it thorugh SQL Server
Answer :
There are thousands of examples you can search .. one approach of a trigger that logs deletes/updates in a table.
You must first create a LOG
table with the the same schema of the source table and add 3 columns – type(char1), dateLog datetime, UserLog(varchar(50)
CREATE TRIGGER logTable
ON [dbo].[table]
AFTER DELETE, UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO log_table (<column list here>)
SELECT del.*
, CASE WHEN
EXISTS (
select *
from inserted
)
AND EXISTS (
select *
from deleted
) THEN 'U' ELSE 'D' END
, getdate()
, SYSTEM_USER
FROM deleted del;
END
GO
