You mention that
SQL Server Audit object
is available in any version of SQL other than Express, however, Audit is only available in 2008 Enterprise. Is there a water down version of auditing available in versions other than 2008. What alternatives are available to perform similar auditing when not using Enterprise edition?

What I said in the article was that just about every edition above Express *could* use it. But Microsoft chose to only put it in Enterprise Edition. For those of us who started using Standard Edition for 2-node HA clusters, this hurts. Standard Edition is economical and meets our needs. Enterprise Edition is pricey. But if we want to use the Audit object, we've got no choice but to use Enterprise.
As far as alternatives, there's nothing similar to it in the other versions.

What are recommended options for auditing tools and/or utilities for people that are using the MS-SQL standard and web editions?
We have a public facing web site where our biggest auditing need (in addition to what we can see in the regular OS event logs) is to track DBA actions.

Hi Brian,
Very nice article. I was able to configure the auditing but I am not getting the parameter values in the audit.
Ex. If some executed a query as follows:
select name, age from dbo.employees where empno = 100.
This above query is being audited as follows:
select name, age from dbo.employees where empno = @1.
How can I get the value of @1?
Regards,
Atiq Rahman

This may be one of the weaknesses in the Audit Object. I need to play around a bit more to see if you can capture the parameter, but at first glance, I'm not sure you can.

Brian, thanks much for this article! It was exactly what I needed to get a test system going to explore what the audit offered. I had been fiddling with it to no avail, read your article, and had it running shortly thereafter.
I was a little disappointed that the file export was to log format, I was hoping I could get it out as a CSV. There is the export function, I think I'll be looking in to automating dumping the contents to a text file.
I think it's basically a good thing, but it still has some growth.
