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.
Is this something new? Extra cost option?

In a former life (maybe 2012/2013) we could have seriously used this to figure out changes made by the 3rd party folks who ran our website. Someone found a non-Microsoft product, but boss wasn't interested in the price.
