    I am curious to find out what your team does when it comes to database audit?

    Here are a list of questions from me:

    - Do you check schema only to make sure it conforms to best practice?

    - Do you check data against business rules?

    - Do you perform any standard check on function and stored procedures?

    I would like to hear more on this from this community.

    Thanks

    Actually, if you haven't been doing those 3 things all along, you're likely in deep trouble in all 3 areas. 😉

    For an "accounting" or SEC audits, you need to have proof that you've been doing all 3 of those all along as well as proving that theres a viable audit trail for changes in the DDL, DML, or the data itself.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
