CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION (Transact-SQL)
SQL Server 2012
Creates a database audit specification object using the SQL Server audit feature. For more information, see SQL Server Audit (Database Engine).
CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION audit_specification_name
{
FOR SERVER AUDIT audit_name
[ { ADD ( { <audit_action_specification> | audit_action_group_name } )
} [, ...n] ]
[ WITH ( STATE = { ON | OFF } ) ]
}
[ ; ]
<audit_action_specification>::=
{
action [ ,...n ]ON [ class :: ] securable BY principal [ ,...n ]
}
The following example creates a server audit called Payrole_Security_Audit and then a database audit specification called Payrole_Security_Audit that audits SELECT and INSERT statements by the dbo user, for the HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory table in the AdventureWorks2012 database.
USE master ;
GO
-- Create the server audit.
CREATE SERVER AUDIT Payrole_Security_Audit
TO FILE ( FILEPATH =
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA' ) ;
GO
-- Enable the server audit.
ALTER SERVER AUDIT Payrole_Security_Audit
WITH (STATE = ON) ;
GO
-- Move to the target database.
USE AdventureWorks2012 ;
GO
-- Create the database audit specification.
CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION Audit_Pay_Tables
FOR SERVER AUDIT Payrole_Security_Audit
ADD (SELECT , INSERT
ON HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory BY dbo )
WITH (STATE = ON) ;
GO
