I am looking for a good way to log changes that occur on a particular set of tables in my SQL Server 2005 database. I believe the best way to do this is through a trigger that get’s executed on updates and deletes. Is there anyway to grab the actual statement that is being ran? Once I have the statement I can easily log it someplace else (other DB table). However, I have not found an easy way (if possible) to grab the SQL statement that is being ran.
Triggers are bad, I’d stay away from triggers.
If you are trying to troubleshoot something, attach Sql Profiler to the database with specific conditions. This will log every query run for your inspection.
Another option is to change to calling program to log its queries. This is a very common practice.
