Our ERP system only uses 1 login for access to it's database. The auditing ability of the software is terrible. I am using SQL 2000.

First, how unusual is it that an Enterprise Product would only use one login for every user? Is this common practice?

Second, if I want to create my own auditing on a specific table using a trigger, can I get some kind of useful information about the user? Maybe their computer name or ip address?

TIA.

Computer name is

select host_name()

But I don't remember if that is valid within a trigger, which scope it gets.

it is far too common. i see it in many enterprise ERP and Accounting packages. so no, it's not that unusual.
