How to enable change data capture in SQL Server?
When the database is enabled, source tables can be identified as tracked tables by using the stored procedure sys.sp_cdc_enable_table. When a table is enabled for change data capture, an associated capture instance is created to support the dissemination of the change data in the source table.
Is there way to track data change in SQL Server?
Change data capture and change tracking can be enabled on the same database; no special considerations are required. For the editions of SQL Server that support change data capture and change tracking, see Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2016. Change tracking is supported by SQL Database.
How does change data capture and change tracking work?
These features enable applications to determine the DML changes (insert, update, and delete operations) that were made to user tables in a database. Change data capture and change tracking can be enabled on the same database; no special considerations are required.
Where do I find change data capture templates?

Why is my change data capture missing rows?
This means the SQL Server change data capture will be missing important rows, and thus there is data loss in the data warehouse or subscribing system. Fixed in the Service Pack 1 release for SQL Server 2012.
What is change data capture for Oracle 2012 SP1?
Fixed in Cumulative update 6 for SQL Server 2012 SP1 as described in KB 2874879. When Change Data Capture for Oracle instances are configured, the SQL database that receives the changed data will have mirrored tables, with transactions marked for replication.
When to remove a capture instance from a change table?
Allowing the capture mechanism to populate both change tables in tandem means that a transition from one to the other can be accomplished without loss of change data. This can happen any time the two change data capture timelines overlap. When the transition is effected, the obsolete capture instance can be removed.
What happens when I disable change data capture?
If there are no tables enabled for the database after the disabling takes place, the change data capture jobs are also removed. If a change data capture-enabled table is dropped, change data capture metadata that is associated with the table is automatically removed.
Where do I find the change data capture schema?
All objects that are associated with a capture instance are created in the change data capture schema of the enabled database. The requirements for the capture instance name is that it be a valid object name, and that it be unique across the database capture instances. By default, the name is < schema name _ table name > of the source table.
How to analyze and read change data capture?
In the previous article, How to enable and use SQL Server Change Data Capture, we described the main features of SQL Server Change Data Capture and showed how to set it up. Now, we will analyze the records stored in change tables and describe the methods to read them
Why is the change data capture function not working?
When querying for change data, if the specified LSN range does not lie within these two LSN values, the change data capture query functions will fail. To accommodate column changes in the source tables that are being tracked is a difficult issue for downstream consumers.
