Since my post I have checked out Lumigent's ENTEGRA product it seems to be geared toward exactly these type of situations.  I will be evaluating this product in the next week and should have more feedback.  Our SOX auditors have told us to be in compliance we need the ability to track any changes made outside the normal interface of a product.  There is nothing in SOX that I know of that requires the ability to track changes from within the application.  I know what your thinking and yes is doesn't make sense but thats the world we live in after Enron!  The application is a customer service record applications that tracks service and billable hours to customers.  because of the financial data it tracks it falls under our SOX requirements.  Our company feels we should be using the same change management processes for all databases so I have to implement these rules on everything I now administer.  yes Ouch!
