...It's just stupid but they keep making the grease spot of audits larger and larger and with no real guarantee that the information is even accurate. It's especially frustrating when the people who want the audit done don't have a clue as to what the results are trying to tell them. It's like someone in HR trying to do a technical interview for a position that only a true SQL Server god could fill when all they really need is someone that knows T-SQL real well and they don't know what to ask the candidates.
I agree. Hence my thoughts we should be building auditing into the system at a low level, with hooks to let us ensure there are more reliable methods of tracking activity.
