Keep track of the DML changes:

  • 아티클

Last week, one of my customers asked me how to track DML code.

He had a scenario in which he needed to update a table and keep the old data.

In the past, developers and DBAs have used custom code to track changes, stored procedures, triggers and CDC.

Starting with version 2005, SQL Server supports a simple method for auditing DML changes; the OUTPUT clause.

The OUTPUT command, collects the audited data into a table or a table variable. It enables us to track DML info of DELETE, UPDATE, INSERT & MERGE command.

The most common usage of the output command is in archiving processes. If we want to delete info from a business data table and archive the deleted data.

An important thing to know about OUTPUT:

When UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE statements are cached in an OUTPUT clause, it will return rows to the client even if the statement encounters errors and is rolled back.

The result should not be used if any error occurs.

Example:

In this example we have an Employee salary table that we want to trace the salary changes.

In this scenario, the HR department of a big corporation would like to update all hourly tariff of the employees by 15% and keep the changes in an audit table for further action or for a fast rollback after testing the impact of the raise.
