ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for maintaining audit records for a database or other resource. According to one embodiment, a method for maintaining audit records for a database can comprise detecting an operation involving at least one record of the database. An audit record can be generated for the operation and the audit record can be stored in an audit table in the database. Insert operations and select operations for the audit table can be supported but other operations for the audit table can be prohibited. Additionally or alternatively, creation of more than one audit table having a same name and schema can be prevented.
