Journaling, that's what it's there fore! It's also better because you cannot tamper with it. Any log written by your own program (such as a trigger) is suspect because you could ignore certain changes or mess with the log afterword with DBU etc etc.

I need to keep a permanent log of all data changes in a particular PF. I can think of two ways to accomplish this.

1. A DB2 journal with the receivers set to never expire.

2. A trigger that would write the before images to a separate PF.

I expect questions of "who changed what when" to be a weekly occurrence.

Either of those options sound better than the other? Anyone have a door #3?
