The minimum machine configuration for the server component is the same as that for SQL Server. The client component may co-reside with the Server component or may reside on a separate, networked machine running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT , or Windows 2000 . Products that use triggers have several problems. Triggers must be installed before problems occur, and the triggers must be rebuilt any time the table schema changes.
Trigger based systems add run-time overhead, and require additional disk space to store result data.
By using the SQL transaction log, Log Explorer avoids all of these shortcomings. Log Explorer treats these multiple logs as one virtual log file. Log Explorer is designed to minimize any possible risk to your data. Used in browse mode, Log Explorer is a read-only product that makes no changes to your system or data. Even in recovery mode, Log Explorer never makes direct changes to your database.
