My company is just starting to look at adding functionality to retain historical data for key tables and columns for auditing purposes in many of our SQL Server databases. I have seen some of your recent tips related to triggers (Forcing Trigger Firing Order in SQL Server and Trigger Alternatives in SQL Server - OUTPUT Clause). Based on using triggers or a similar technology, what is the best way to store the historical data?

It has come to my attention that some of our MSDB databases are getting what I would consider large for a system database. Some of our MSDB databases are over 2 GB which is a little perplexing because I know we do not create any user defined objects in that database. Can you give me some insight into the issue?
