MySql change logging

Hi
Is it possible for me to have the daily updation and insert queries
performed on the MySQL DB saved? This will help me track when a
particular record was modified in the DB.
Is there any other way to track as to when the changes were made to the
DB? I also want to add who made the changes but this will come at a
later stage once the user login is implemented. It will be great if I
can atleast store a log file or something daily.
Thanks

Why not a a timetsamp column to every table? Everytime a record is
changed/updated the timestamp is modified to reflect the time of the change.

You can also add a column for the user, the value of this column has to
be updated by code or manually, it can not be done by the MySQL engine.

I was reading an archived email conversation between Sinisa Milivojevic and Vincent Stoessel in which they seemed to indicate that there was no need to log to syslog. As Vincent only had a request for timestamps in the error log, Sinisa simply satisfied that demand and moved on. =20
