Introduction to Change Data Capture (CDC)
What is Change Data Capture (CDC)?
Change data capture (CDC) uses SQL Server agent to capture DML activities like deleting, updating, and inserting on a table. These DML activities are captured in a table format in a relational database. In SQL server, CDC works similarly to SQL server transactional replication. It is commonly used for replicating data from databases to a data warehouse by syncing the database change logs rather than fetching data from tables.
If a CDC is enabled for a table, any DML operation on that table is written to a transaction log. These changes are now captured by the CDC capture job from a transaction log file and written to different change data capture tables. Now different CDC functions access these tables to get change data.
