Did you know? SQL Server 2008 includes Auditing

SQL Server 2008 includes Auditing (server and database):

SQL Server 2008 now enables you to configure server and database level audit specifications.  These specifications include server operations such as management changes and database actions such as data manipulation language (DML) and data definition language (DDL) operations.  The output of the audits can be sent to a file, Windows Security event log, or the Windows Application event log.
