Two ways I know of to do this:
1. In an UPDATE trigger, you can query UPDATE() function (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187326.aspx) to tell you if the column was SET by the UPDATE statement. Unfortunately, it does not tell you whether it changed or not (but you could test this by comparing the values for INSERTED.column vs. DELETED.column using those pseudo tables.
2. Use an OUTPUT clause of UPDATE to dump the updated results to a temporary table. I believe you can also reference INSERTED.* and DELETED.* psuedo tables there to dump all columns into the temp table. Then you have to query back from the temp table to see what was changed.
My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.Need to UNPIVOT? Why not CROSS APPLY VALUES instead?[/url]

Try this one , It might help ;
Merge into desttable as target
using
(
select col1, col2,col3,col4,col5 from sourcetable
except
select col1, col2,col3,col4,col5 from desttable
) as source
on target.col1=source.col1 -- (use primary key )
when matched then
update set target.col1=source.col1,
.......
when not matched bye target then insert
(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5) values (source.col1,.....)
merge statement to update or insert or delete the records.

Using merge (as pointed out by demonfox) you can easily user INSERTED.* and DELETED.* (as mentionded by Dwain) after MERGE in order to capture, columns and values which are being updated/inserted/deleted.

Using merge (as pointed out by demonfox) you can easily user INSERTED.* and DELETED.* (as mentionded by Dwain) after MERGE in order to capture, columns and values which are being updated/inserted/deleted.Yes and Inserted.col1 , Inserted.col2 woudl work for new data updated or inserted ;
if you are handling delete also in the Merge statement.
then it gets a little difficult to handle insert , delete and update data .
As Insert and Update can be captured by Inserted.* ; but the deleted require Deleted.* , and in the merge statement there is only one Output clause allowed.
In that case you may have to consider using cases by identifying $action property.

Demon correct, but you can use the $Action on the output statement will show the action that was performed for that row of data.

Demon correct, but you can use the $Action on the output statement will show the action that was performed for that row of data.Exactly Jason ; That ought to be the requirement. This is the formatted code with delete and case statement, not tested , but should work fine..
CREATE TABLE #author2 (cola VARCHAR(50),colb VARCHAR(50), action_flag VARCHAR(10) )
CREATE TABLE dbo.author1
( cola VARCHAR(50), colb VARCHAR(50) )
CREATE TABLE dbo.authors
( au_fname VARCHAR(100), au_lname VARCHAR(100)
)
MERGE INTO authors AS target
using (SELECT cola,
colb
FROM author1
EXCEPT
SELECT au_fname,
au_lname
FROM authors) AS source
ON target.au_fname = source.cola
WHEN matched THEN
UPDATE SET target.au_lname = source.colb
WHEN NOT matched BY target THEN
INSERT (au_fname,
au_lname)
VALUES(source.cola,
source.colb)
WHEN NOT matched BY source THEN
DELETE
output ( CASE
WHEN $action = 'DELETE' THEN deleted.au_fname
ELSE inserted.au_fname
END )au_fname,
( CASE
WHEN $action = 'DELETE' THEN deleted.au_lname
ELSE inserted.au_lname
END )colb,
$action
INTO #author2;
