Does MS SQLServer support auditing in the way that you can for Sybase?

I know that there are tools like Lumigent, but an wondering about the
internal facilities to track events such as table creation, security
operations (add login, add role), and such.

Under Sybase, there is a set of procedures that permit you to set
theses events and to record the results for later extraction and
analysis.

The Profiler seems to have a lot of the same functionality but this
appears to be more along the lines of running a monitor.

Can the events be tracked without Profiler running?

Can the events being tracked be recorded in the system of SQLServer
logs?

Yes. But I am not going to say that it is particular appealing.

The good news is that in SQL Server 2005, currently in beta, you can
define triggers on database and server level, which makes this sort of
auditing a lot more reasonable to do.

other than logins?

You mean with Profiler? No, I don't have any reference any such texts.

You can look up C2 auditing in Books Online, but you will not find much.
There is a reference to a "C2 Administrator's and User's Security Guide",
but there is no link.

See sp_trace_create (and related procs) in Books Online. I agree with Erland
that it's not always perfect, but you can trace anything that Profiler can
trace, which obviously extends beyond just login events.

Hi, On one side, I have a Sybase 12.5 32 bits Server running on AIX 5.1 (maintenance level 3). On the other, I've got W2000 5.00.2195 (SP2) with SQL Server Standard Edition, Product Version 8.00.534 (SP2), having installed MDAC 2.6. I connect to the Sybase 12.5 database using Merant ASE ODBC driver for Sybase 12.5, and using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server that comes with this SQLServer version.

Do they play well together? Anyone using the Sybase .NET provider. Any problems or should I stick with the Sybase OLEDB? Or worse check with the DataDirect folks for their .NET provider for Sybase? If you are using Sybase what are you using? We have issues with the Sybase 12.5 OleDBProvider and Sybase says is "not certified" for .NET. The provider they have for .NET seems to have some performance issues?
