Need recommendation on simple auditing product.

(SQL Server 2000, SP3a)
Hello all!
A while ago (2 years?) I downloaded a freeware auditing utility called SQLLog:
http://www.rlpsoftware.com/SQLLog.asp
It doesn't appear as if the freeware version is available from this site any more, so I
was hoping to solicit some opinions on a similar utility that would help audit database
deletions.
That old SQLLog utility basically put triggers on the desired tables, and squirted XML
into a blob field that would enumerate the fields and their original contents and any
changed data. It was pretty straightforward and simple to integrate with an existing
database.
If anyone knows of anything that might be applicable, I'd sure be grateful!

I've used SQLAudit and it works well. It basically places triggers on the
tables for you.

I've heard good reports on Lumigent Entegra, but I haven't evaluated that
yet - it's on my to-do list!

|||Thanks for the reply, Mark! I was checking out ApexSQL Log as well -- so this will be
nice to be able to compare/contrast. I see that Apex's solutions work by reading the
transaction log -- so no additional triggers need be in place. That seems like a pretty
clean solution.

Need JDBC Driver for MS SQL 7.00.847

Hi
I just downloaded the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server 2000. Now it tells me SQL Server 7 is not supported. :o I already checked the JDBC Driver list on suns site. Its quite long and only states MS SQL Server without any version number. Can you recommend a particular driver? Preferrably without any cost. :D
Or am I better of with the jdbc/odbc bridge?

Thanks

ShabassaWe have multiple MS Sql Servers. Some are version 2000 (8). Is it possible to connect to such a server via jdbc and access the server with ms sql 7 using this server as a gateway?
