Version 3.30 is available in the downloads tab.

AutoAudit is a SQL Server (2005, 2008, 2012) Code-Gen utility that creates Audit Trail Triggers with:

  • Insert - event logged to Audit table
  • Update - old and new values logged to Audit table
  • Delete - logs all final values to the Audit table
  • CreatedDate, CreatedBy, ModifiedDate, ModifiedBy, and RowVersion (incrementing INT) columns optionally added to table
  • View to reconstruct deleted rows
  • UDF and view to reconstruct Row History
  • UDF to recover the data from a table at any point in time - NEW FOR 3.30
  • Schema Audit Trigger to track schema changes
  • Re-code-gens triggers when Alter Table changes the table

Version 3.30 major changes:

  • Added the _TableRecovery UDF that returns the data from a table as it existed at a specified point in time
