Audit Logs in SQL SERVER ?

Hi,
Does SQL provide an Audit log on who is accessing which database and what's
being done on each table that's kept in certain system tables or is there an
y
stored procedures to keep track of this ?
tks & rdgs
maxzsimHi maxzsim
I think SQL Profiler can help you in achieving this task.

You can use NT EventLog for this, but it will not give you all the
information that you require. I prefer using SQL Profiler for this purpose.

I recommend you to enable server side tracing if the server is Production.
This will use the resouce very less compared to SQL Profiler.
Have a look into the below great article from Vyas on server side tracing
with examples to configure:-

tion log. So the tools
that can audit reads do this using a background profiler trace...
