sp_addauditrecord [text [, db_name [, obj_name [, owner_name [, dbid [, objid]]]]]]
is the text of the message to add to the current audit table. The text is inserted into the extrainfo field of the table.
is the name of the database referred to in the record. The name is inserted into the dbname field of the current audit table.
is the name of the object referred to in the record. The name is inserted into the objname field of the current audit table.
is the owner of the object referred to in the record. The name is inserted into the objowner field of the current audit table.
is the database ID number of db_name. Do not enclose this integer value in quotes. dbid is inserted into the dbid field of the current audit table.

Adds “I gave A. Smith permission to view the payroll table in the corporate database. This permission was in effect from 3:10 to 3:30 pm on 9/22/92.” to the extrainfo field; “corporate” to the dbname field; “payroll” to the objname field; “dbo” to the objowner field; “10” to the dbid field, and “1004738270” to the objid field of the current audit table:
sp_addauditrecord "I gave A. Smith permission to view the payroll table in the corporate database. This permission was in effect from 3:10 to 3:30 pm on 9/22/92.", "corporate", "payroll", "dbo", 10, 1004738270
Adds this record to the audit trail. This example uses parameter names with the @ prefix, which allows you to leave some fields empty:
sp_addauditrecord @text="I am disabling auditing briefly while we reconfigure the system", @db_name="corporate"
Adaptive Server writes all audit records to the current audit table. The current audit table is determined by the value of the current audit table configuration parameter, set with sp_configure. An installation can have up to eight system audit tables, named sysaudits_01, sysaudits_02, and so forth, through sysaudits_08.
The records actually are first stored in the in-memory
audit queue, and the audit process later writes the records from
the audit queue to the current audit table. Therefore, you cannot
count on an audit record being stored immediately in the audit table.
You can use sp_addauditrecord if:
You have been granted execute permission on sp_addauditrecord (No special role is required).
Auditing is enabled (A System Security Officer used sp_configure to turn on the auditing configuration parameter).
The adhoc option of sp_audit is set to on.
Only a System Security Officer can execute sp_addauditrecord. The Database Owner of sybsecurity (who must also be a System Security Officer) can grant execute permission to other users.
System procedure sp_audit
