    To enable change tracking, you must have permission to modify the database.

    Setting the value to True sets a database option that allows change tracking to be enabled on individual tables.

    You can also configure change tracking by using ALTER DATABASE.

  • Retention Period
    Specifies the minimum period for keeping change track information in the database. Data is removed only if the Auto Clean-Up value is True.

    The default value is 2.

  • Retention Period Units
    Specifies the units for the Retention Period value. You can select Days, Hours, or Minutes. The default value is Days.

    The minimum retention period is 1 minute. There is no maximum retention period.

  • Auto Clean-Up
    Indicates whether change tracking information is automatically removed after the specified retention period.

    Enabling Auto Clean-Up resets any previous custom retention period to the default retention period of 2 days.
