Briefcase

Usually in business applications it is necessary to maintain the history of the data being modified for auditing purposes or for later analysis. Proven way to achieve this is to create a log table for each datatable with an additional column "Action" to indicate what the user has done on the data (either insert, update or delete).
And a trigger will be created on the base data table to move the modified data to the log table

Below script helps the database developer to automatically create log tables and triggers on base tables automatically for all the database tables
