Large frequently changed tables could have potential to grow very large. We do employ insert update and triggers for most of our auditing, but our history tables are on a separate history database which can be moved so it does not affect the performance and disk space of our production server as much.

IsDeleted = 1 or 0 LastModified = "TimeStamp" ModifiedBy = "UserID" LastCurrentRecord = "ID of record you just Marked IsDeleted." Now a month or year later I can go in and delete data that is just taking up space but is not needed for the audit trail anymore.
