    Unless I'm missing/misunderstanding something, I think this will do it:

  • RE: Clustered index in uniqueidentifiers column

    Yes, it's true.

    If absolutely necessary, create a nonclustered index(es) on the GUID(s).

  • RE: Difference in CDC vs Trigger

    If Change Tracking is enough for what you need it, use it, as it's less overhead than either CDC or a trigger. And it doesn't require Enterprise Edition.
