is there a way to notify a WordPress admin when the database is changed?

Question

i have a WordPress site and i need to notify the admin user by an alert whenever the database is changed,so is it the only way to do that is using triggers or there is a better way??

Answer 1

There are many options available. You want to be notified when a post is created/updated/deleted or the whole database? If you would like to monitor the whole database, I would rather use something db's binary log instead of triggers.

For single table, triggers are a viable option. You could also use save_post hook.
