If you look at the mysql bk-commits email list at around Jan-April 2008, there are additional patches which hook into many parts of MySQL, including all the phases of connection and authentication. So if you compare the URL above to the corresponding one in the 5.6 manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/writing-audit-plugins.html You'll see that the example audit plugin can track more kinds of events. Compare the two versions beginning with this paragraph: "The general descriptor also refers to simple_status, a structure that exposes several status variables to the SHOW STATUS statement:" > Regards, > Antony. > > On 5 Feb, 2012, at 1:28 am, Aruna Karunarathna wrote: > >> I think that MySQL database is suffers from lacking a proper Audit >> Functionality. >> I would like to contribute in a way to enable a better audit trail. >> >> Are there any suggestions or a particular group I should added to? -- Paul DuBois Oracle Corporation / MySQL Documentation Team Madison, Wisconsin, USA www.mysql.com -- MySQL Internals Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/internals To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/internals
