Re: [U2] AE editor replacement

Is there such an animal as an AE editor replacement which can log changes to the database done through AE? To be clear - I still maintain triggers are superior for this type of work as any security you slap on AE doesn't help you with things like: :DELETE PERSON 1234567 or :MODIFY PERSON
