Sounds good, but I'm guessing I am looking for something more built into the database by default.

Microsoft SQL Server has this. It's called change data capture (CDC), and exposes the journal data for easy querying.

Say you have a table called IV00101 in SQL Server. Once you activate CDC on a table a new system view shows up right away that you can query by doing a "select * from cdc.IV00101" and you will get all the before, after data in same layout as original table with the extra journal fields at the beginning. Very powerful, easy to use, and built right into the database platform. I am hoping DB2 can get there some day.

ACS, Carsten Flensburg published the excellent EXTJRNDTA utility.

And Thomas Raddatz provides his excellent (and free) EXPJRNE tool:

"The EXPJRNE command exports journal entries of fiels, data areas and data queues to an output file. The output file has the same layout as the journalized file plus the journaling information. EXPJRNE makes it really easy to analyze journal entries by SQL."

I believe Thomas may be adding something similar to the iSphere RDi extension.
