Anyway to create a SQL Server DDL trigger for “SELECT” statements?

Question

I am dealing with some sensitive Accounting tables and I would like to audit any SELECT statement executed on the table or any views associated with them.

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible by creating an Event Notification on the AUDIT_DATABASE_OBJECT_ACCESS_EVENT event. The cost of doing something like this would be overwhelming though.

It is much better to use the audit infrastructure, or using custom access wrapper as gbn recommends.
