Auditing changes to data

Hi Experts,
I want to audit the changes made to the data in the SQL
Server tables. How can I implement a audit mechanism?
Thanks,
HariHi,
You will have to use either of below 2 options:-
1. Write Insert / Update and delete triggers on each tables
2. Enable profiler, You have to run the profiler all the time.
But I feel that your pupose can only be solved by writing custom triggers on
each tables.
Thanks

Create Audit Table with the same structure as real table . Create an
UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT trigger on real table and insert any changes into audit
table.
create trigger trigger_MyTable on MyTable after update
as
if @.@.ROWCOUNT = 0
return
insert MyAuditTable
select
i.ID
, d.MyColumn
, i.MyColumn
from
inserted i
join
deleted d on d.ID = o.Id
go

logs... Lumigent has such a tool (www.Lumigent.com.)
