Abstract: An apparatus, computer program, and method are provided for trigger-based tracking of database modifications. One or more input tables associated with a database are identified. Further, one or mom triggers are generated, based on the one or more input tables. Such one or more triggers are then installed in connection with an application configured for modifying the database. In response to at least one of the one or more triggers being triggered, one or more modifications to the database are tracked. Further, information is stored where such information is associated with the one or more modifications to the database.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for smart database inflation. In use, a trigger signal to begin capturing information associated with database activities corresponding to one or more operational systems is detected. The trigger signal is triggered by a specific business flow or transaction in the one or more operational systems. In response to detecting the trigger signal, the information associated with the database activities corresponding to the one or more operational systems is captured for a duration of an event associated with the trigger signal. The information associated with the database activities includes valid operational data and one or more affected records associated with the one or more operational systems. Additionally, the information associated with the database activities corresponding to the one or more operational systems is duplicated in at least one mirroring table.
