| CDC is Change Data Capture. As the name implies it captures the changes happening in a table as well as the data associated to the change. Its also asynchronous operation and uses sql server agent jobs on the backgroundChange Tracking just tracks net changes in a table and records changes happened but wont have actual data associated to those changes. For getting affected fields latest data you can link to main table by means of some functions but still you wont get entire change data history as in previous case. This is a synchronous operation so you will get results much quickly than CDC. It also doesnt require as much storage requirements as CDC------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |
