Change Tracking in Azure SQL Database
For those looking to track changes in their Azure SQL Databases, there are two options available: Change Tracking and Change Data Capture. This post will explore the benefits of Change Tracking, which allows for tracking of both data changes and table changes.
By analyzing the Change Tracking records, users can identify changed data within a specified time period without having to scan the entire database. This method can improve performance, especially for larger databases. Additionally, Change Tracking can easily integrate with other processes and allows for custom scripting.
Overall, Change Tracking is a versatile and efficient method for tracking changes and can greatly benefit those managing Azure SQL Databases.
