What is SQL Server Change Data Capture – Evolution and Function

Image
  The goal of SQL Server CDC is to capture any changes made in a source database and present them to users in a simple relational format. Types of changes include insert, update, and delete to the database. All inputs required to capture these changes to the target, such as column information and metadata, are available for the modified and changed rows. After the changes are made and noted in the tables at source, they are replicated in the column information of the target tables. As a matter of database safety and security, access to the changes is monitored closely. Development of SQL Server CDC It was in 2005 that Microsoft launched SQL Server CDC with “after update”, “after insert”, and “after delete” features. However, DBAs found its working quite complex. Based on this feedback, Microsoft introduced a revised version in 2008, which was very user-friendly, well-received, and is still in use today. In this version, database administrators can capture and store changes ma...

Image
  Microsoft launched its SQL Server CDC product in 2005 with several cutting-edge and technologically advanced features, such as “after update”, “after insert”, and “after delete” abilities. Since this technology was very complex and not received well by DBAs, Microsoft released a revised and more advanced version of the SQL Server CDC in 2008, which became very popular and is still in use today. The Concept of SQL Server Change Data Capture SQL Server CDC captures and records changes made in the source database, such as “Insert”, “Update”, or “Delete”. These can be accessed by any user seamlessly, with all details available in an easy-to-understand relational format. CDC provides all the information required for capturing the changes to an intended target. The data for modified and changed rows is available in CDC. The changes made are stored in tables and are reflected in the structure of the tracked source tables. For data security, access to the table-valued functions of ...
