I have been reading a lot about MSSQL 2012 lately, to get myself ready for when the developers and application admins find out about the new features and start nagging about having servers upgraded to the latest and (possibly) greatest. 
I am usually very skeptical when it comes to upgrading to a new version of enterprise software within the first 6 months of its release, especially so if the current version works perfectly fine as is. So far I haven’t read anything to quell my skepticism, but sooner or later I guess I have to face the music and start upgrading or migrating databases. The good thing though about reading documentation is the rediscovery of forgotten features and possibilities. Sometimes it is nice to just let the mind take a random road trip through the interwebs, just to find out were it winds up. This time, I got reacquainted with DML triggers and events, and remembered a long forgotten scheming plan to track who was tampering with MY databases, which is the main focal point of this post.
