I was following the debate only lightly, so maybe this question was already
discussed: do you keep complete audit trail in data file or export it to
another system?

I maintain two system that keep audit trail and the table with log records
grows really fast  - in one case (20+ workstations) most of the 10+GB data
file consist of audit trail table, even when it deletes records older then
6 months. The deletion of log entries cancels the main benefit of audit
trail and is a relict of the past, I could disable it and let the data
grow, but maybe there are better way how to handle it (export to separate
single user app?)
