A client has requested a "change log" on their database.

Basically, it's a SQL server database with several hundred fields used 
for updating information on specific computer/data systems within a 
group of businesses. What they're asking for is when  client logs in and 
updates their info, they want to keep a summary of what's been changed 
in addition to updating the database itself.

They do *not* want a full copy of the complete record each time a change 
is made (which is what I would have done). They just want to see 
something that says "On March 3, 2007, Bob changed field 64 on page 11 
of the form".

Almost the only thing I can think of is to do a compare on every single 
data field in the database on each submit to see what's changed, and 
then add that to a log. Considering the number of fields - ack!

I shouldn't complain too much, as they don't care how much it costs and 
pay quickly - but, is there a more efficient way of doing this?

Ideas?
