I need to create a simple audit trigger for a table with 12 columns. I need to determine which row was changed. Is there a simple way to do that. The table structure is
ID Integer(4)
barcode(25)
epc_tag(24)
bc_stop_flag(1)
reject_flag(1)
complete_flag(1)
hold_flag(1)
pe_1_flag
pe_2_flag
pe_3_flag
pe_4_flag
pe_5_flag
This Audit Trigger is Generic (i.e. non-"Table Specific") attach it to any tabel and it should work. Be sure and create the 'Audit' table first though.
The following code write audit entries to a Table called 'Audit' with columns 'ActionType' //varchar 'TableName' //varchar 'PK' //varchar 'FieldName' //varchar 'OldValue' //varchar 'NewValue' //varchar 'ChangeDateTime' //datetime 'ChangeBy' //varchar
using System; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
public partial class Triggers { //A Generic Trigger for Insert, Update and Delete Actions on any Table [Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlTrigger(Name = "AuditTrigger", Event = "FOR INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE")]
public static void AuditTrigger() { SqlTriggerContext tcontext = SqlContext.TriggerContext; //Trigger Context string TName; //Where we store the Altered Table's Name string User; //Where we will store the Database Username DataRow iRow; //DataRow to hold the inserted values DataRow dRow; //DataRow to how the deleted/overwritten values DataRow aRow; //Audit DataRow to build our Audit entry with string PKString; //Will temporarily store the Primary Key Column Names and Values here using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("context connection=true"))//Our Connection { conn.Open();//Open the Connection //Build the AuditAdapter and Mathcing Table SqlDataAdapter AuditAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Audit WHERE 1=0", conn); DataTable AuditTable = new DataTable(); AuditAdapter.FillSchema(AuditTable, SchemaType.Source); SqlCommandBuilder AuditCommandBuilder = new SqlCommandBuilder(AuditAdapter);//Populates the Insert command for us //Get the inserted values SqlDataAdapter Loader = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * from INSERTED", conn); DataTable inserted = new DataTable(); Loader.Fill(inserted); //Get the deleted and/or overwritten values Loader.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * from DELETED"; DataTable deleted = new DataTable(); Loader.Fill(deleted); //Retrieve the Name of the Table that currently has a lock from the executing command(i.e. the one that caused this trigger to fire) SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT object_name(resource_associated_entity_id) FROM ys.dm_tran_locks WHERE request_session_id = @@spid and resource_type = 'OBJECT'", conn); TName = cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString(); //Retrieve the UserName of the current Database User SqlCommand curUserCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT system_user", conn); User = curUserCommand.ExecuteScalar().ToString(); //Adapted the following command from a T-SQL audit trigger by Nigel Rivett //http://www.nigelrivett.net/AuditTrailTrigger.html SqlDataAdapter PKTableAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(@"SELECT c.COLUMN_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS pk , INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE c where pk.TABLE_NAME = '" + TName + @"' and CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY' and c.TABLE_NAME = pk.TABLE_NAME and c.CONSTRAINT_NAME = pk.CONSTRAINT_NAME", conn); DataTable PKTable = new DataTable(); PKTableAdapter.Fill(PKTable);
switch (tcontext.TriggerAction)//Switch on the Action occuring on the Table { case TriggerAction.Update: iRow = inserted.Rows[0];//Get the inserted values in row form dRow = deleted.Rows[0];//Get the overwritten values in row form PKString = PKStringBuilder(PKTable, iRow);//the the Primary Keys and There values as a string foreach (DataColumn column in inserted.Columns)//Walk through all possible Table Columns { if (!iRow[column.Ordinal].Equals(dRow[column.Ordinal]))//If value changed { //Build an Audit Entry aRow = AuditTable.NewRow(); aRow["ActionType"] = "U";//U for Update aRow["TableName"] = TName; aRow["PK"] = PKString; aRow["FieldName"] = column.ColumnName; aRow["OldValue"] = dRow[column.Ordinal].ToString(); aRow["NewValue"] = iRow[column.Ordinal].ToString(); aRow["ChangeDateTime"] = DateTime.Now.ToString(); aRow["ChangedBy"] = User; AuditTable.Rows.InsertAt(aRow, 0);//Insert the entry } } break; case TriggerAction.Insert: iRow = inserted.Rows[0]; PKString = PKStringBuilder(PKTable, iRow); foreach (DataColumn column in inserted.Columns) { //Build an Audit Entry aRow = AuditTable.NewRow(); aRow["ActionType"] = "I";//I for Insert aRow["TableName"] = TName; aRow["PK"] = PKString; aRow["FieldName"] = column.ColumnName; aRow["OldValue"] = null; aRow["NewValue"] = iRow[column.Ordinal].ToString(); aRow["ChangeDateTime"] = DateTime.Now.ToString(); aRow["ChangedBy"] = User; AuditTable.Rows.InsertAt(aRow, 0);//Insert the Entry } break; case TriggerAction.Delete: dRow = deleted.Rows[0]; PKString = PKStringBuilder(PKTable, dRow); foreach (DataColumn column in inserted.Columns) { //Build and Audit Entry aRow = AuditTable.NewRow(); aRow["ActionType"] = "D";//D for Delete aRow["TableName"] = TName; aRow["PK"] = PKString; aRow["FieldName"] = column.ColumnName; aRow["OldValue"] = dRow[column.Ordinal].ToString(); aRow["NewValue"] = null; aRow["ChangeDateTime"] = DateTime.Now.ToString(); aRow["ChangedBy"] = User; AuditTable.Rows.InsertAt(aRow, 0);//Insert the Entry } break; default: //Do Nothing break; } AuditAdapter.Update(AuditTable);//Write all Audit Entries back to AuditTable conn.Close(); //Close the Connection } }
//Helper function that takes a Table of the Primary Key Column Names and the modified rows Values //and builds a string of the form "<PKColumn1Name=Value1>,PKColumn2Name=Value2>,......" public static string PKStringBuilder(DataTable primaryKeysTable, DataRow valuesDataRow) { string temp = String.Empty; foreach (DataRow kColumn in primaryKeysTable.Rows)//for all Primary Keys of the Table that is being changed { temp = String.Concat(temp, String.Concat("<", kColumn[0].ToString(), "=", valuesDataRow[kColumn[0].ToString)].ToString(), ">,")); } return temp; } }
The trick was getting the Table Name and the Primary Key Columns. I hope this code is found useful.
I wont to get text of statement which chaged actual table.
with this script :
Code Block if object_id('dbo.mytable') is not null drop table dbo.mytable go create table dbo.mytable (f1 varchar(100)) go alter trigger dbo.ti_mytable on dbo.mytable for insert as set nocount on print 'in trigger' DECLARE @sql_handle binary(20) select @sql_handle = sql_handle FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses p (nolock) where spid = @@spid select @sql_handle, @@spid, [text] FROM ::fn_get_sql(@sql_handle) as statement_text GO
if I execute
Code Block insert into mytable values ('test')
I getting text of the trigger. How I can get @sql_handle of original statement ?
I have a trigger set on TABLE1 so that any update to this column should set off trigger to write to the AUDIT log table, it works fine otherwise but not the very first time when table1 has null in the column. if i comment out
and i.req_fname <> d.req_fname from the where clause then it works fine the first time too. Seems like null value of the column is messing things up
Any thoughts?
Here is my t-sql
Insert into dbo.AUDIT (audit_req, audit_new_value, audit_field, audit_user)
select i.req_guid, i.req_fname, 'req_fname', IsNull(i.req_last_update_user,@default_user) as username from inserted i, deleted d
I have a trigger on my Table (MyTable). The Trigger saves any changes to mytable. The AuditTrails table has this columns: ID, TableName,PrimaryKey, OLDvalue, NewValue,UserID,DateCreated.
Now, how can i pass the application's UserID (Not the SQL Server User) and save it to the AuditTrails table?
In my .NET Application, if someone delete a record from myTable how can i possibly get the userid of that person using my Audit trail Trigger?
I'm clear about the use of a DELETE trigger to "move" your deleted record to a second database as a sort of recycle bin.
But SS7 has the limitation, and it's mentioned in BOL, that it cannot reference your TEXT, NTEXT or IMAGE fields in the DELETED table. It says to join the original table with DELETED to get at those fields.
The only problem is the original table's record has been deleted! Even though the transaction has not yet been COMMITTED.
Here's my Trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER AuditTest ON Activity FOR DELETE AS
INSERT AuditDB.dbo.Activity SELECT Activity.* FROM Activity INNER JOIN Deleted ON Activity.ActivityID = Deleted.ActivityID
And for discussion, here's my Table:
ActivityID uniqueidentifier OrgId uniqueidentifier Title varchar(600 Active bit Comments text LastUpdate datetime
Any suggestions? Has anyone been able to implement a DELETE Audit Trigger on a table with BLOBs?
I have a requirement to audit tables in a SQL Server database. The tables are dynamically created when the application creates a form and the table holds the form data. So my plan is this, I have worked out the audit table (static) and the trigger. What i'm having issues with is getting the trigger to create from within the stored procedure. So just to recap: the user creates a form in the app, this creates a table and should call this stored procedure. The stored procedure creates the trigger on that table (which begins auditing that table, inserting to the static audit table based on the table name being passed into the stored procedure).
Where im at: I can create the stored procedure. When i go to run the stored procedure, I get the errors after passing the table as a value.
In my opinion it's an error with the correct number of single ticks, but not sure.
The Code: USE [AdventureWorks] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[spReplaceAuditTrigger] Script Date: 12/06/2011 15:28:50 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROC spReplaceAuditTrigger( @PassedTableName as NVarchar(255) ) AS
Hi, I am trying to figure out which of these option is best suited for auditing. Although each one of them has its own pros/cons. CLR trigger is easy to write and can be made generic so that it fits for any table required to be audited. I tried both the option in test database and i found the CLR trigger performed poorly. Results were : For table A (3 columns) with TSQL trigger took less than a sec for 2500 sequential inserts. While table B (3 columns) having same structure with CLR trigger took more than 20 sec for 2500 sequential inserts.
Has anybody done performance comparision of this 2 approaches ? Please share results if any.
I wanted to validate that is my findings correct so that i select best optimized approach.
I have a update trigger on a table which fires trapping the userid and time in the same record. The code is below. The tirgger only works if I have the recursive triggers option unchecked on databae properties. Is the way I am trying the only way to accomplish this in the update trigger or is there an more efficient way. Thanks

I am trying to create a trigger which should prevent the bulk deletion. The following is the trigger which I have written, it is preventing the bulk deletion. But the problem is, it is removing the single deletion entries in the audit table. I want audit table to hold back the single deletion entries without allowing the bult deletion

I need a trigger to know who and when a char(1) column is changed. Â Would like to write the audit trail to its own table I can query and record before and after values.
DDL:

Insert into Test (Customer, Active) Values ('Acme','Y')..I want trigger to tell me whowhenwhere this value was changed. Â If using sql auth capture client windows id if possible and write to audit table Update Test set Active = 'N'
Can anyone help, I am able to create a trigger that will populate a audit table everytime one of my tables columns data changes, but I have an applications from another user that has a stored proceudre and when that is called from an application it hit the original table twice, so the audit table will get a duplicate entry.

Hi all, please help. I m trying to create an "empty" table from existing table for the audit trigger purpose. For now, i am trying to create an empty audit table for every table in a database named "pubs", and it's seem won't work. Please advise.. Thanks in advance.

I have made a server security audit and specify from database audit specification to audit "select" on a certain user and on a certain table. I logged in by this user and made the select statement..when i run this query
"select * from sys.fn_get_audit_file('d:Auditaudit1*',null,null)"
It return a value at which time the query has done
after 15 minutes i repeated the same action, i run the audit query and the same result is showed off on the panel.is it suppose to return a list of values by how many times this user has made the select statement on that table ? for example at 5:00 pm then 6:00 pm and so on
I write a insert trigger on my table LeaveRegister(1000 rows) and inserting rows in audit table, but when i inserting a row in LeaveRegister table. In audit table 1000 + 1 rows are inserting every time.
I need help...here is the problem.Last weekend, the servers in our datacenter where moved around. After thismove, and maybe coincidental, 1 server is performing very poor. Afterrunning a trace with SQL Profiler, I saw the problem which was laterconfirmed with another tool for SQL server performance monitoring. It seemsthat all connections to the SQL server (between 200 - 400) are doing a login/ logout for each command that they process. For example, the user'sconnection will login, perform a SELECT, and then logout. This is not a..NET application. The client software was not changed, it is still thesame. The vendor has said that it is not supposed to do that, it issupposed to use 1 connection that log's on in the morning and logs off atthe end of the day or whenever the user exits. 1 user may have severalconnections to the database.At times, the server is processing over 250 login / logouts (avgeraged for30 second period). Has anyone seen this problem? I have the server inAUDIT FAILUREs only. The server has become very unresponsive, things thattook 3 seconds now take over 15 seconds.Any ideas???
I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.

I have a table that has a number of data fields,I need to be able to capture datatime when the date field was entered or entered value changed.I was told I need to create a trigger on that table that contains all the fields.
I have seen the syntax for creating triggers, and read some documentation but I am still in the dark as how to create what I need to.
I was hoping to see if somebody had a similar example or an advice, anything is more than what I have at the moment.

Since we have given Null to ''Workphone'',''Cellphone '', ''Email ID''.when inserting the data into these table.if the particular columns are empty while inserting also the data will get populate into the table.And.I need is if these columns are ''Workphone'',''Cellphone'' , ''Email ID'' they cant insert the data into table.
Like it must trigger like ''Please enter atleast one of these ''Workphone'',''Cellphone'' , ''Email ID'' columns.

I have created a trigger that I can enter and works great from the sqlcmd terminal. When I try to submit the same query in a .NET project I get an error that "Create Trigger must be the first statement in a batch". The Create trigger is submitted by itself through the sqlcommand.executenonquery() method.
I am trying to create a database for a project but the only thing that I can't seem to get working is submitting this trigger.
