SQL Server CDC(change data capture) is used just for table data change? Can I use it to track procedure or other types of objects change?

Question

SQL Server CDC(change data capture) is used just for table data change? Can I use it to track procedure or other types of objects change?

BTW, are there some companies using CDC in their production?

Thanks.

Answer 1

As the name says it captures DATA change - and SP's are not data.

it is not meant to capture the database changes, but to be a fast mechanism for a data warehouse to see what ata has been added / changed.

Answer 2

You can create a database trigger to capture DDL changes on a database.
