I hava a database which contains approximately 30 tables. Each table contains many columns.

I want to audit changes of the data and store the old value and new value together in a new "Audit" table, how do I do this.

My first thought was triggers, but how do I create them to function as I want.

Any examples would be great.

Thanks in advance.

yup. you can do this with triggers. but for that you need create seperate triggers on each of 30 tables for insert,update & delete

if by any chance you use sql 2008, you can use track changes features.
