I am planning to attach the application user name along with the connection string as follows

HTML

Application Name=MyApplicationUserName;Data Source=ServerName; Initial Catalog=DatabaseName; Integrated Security=SSPI;

So that I could set up default value rather than sending it from the front-end

SQL

CREATE TABLE Persons
(
P_Id int NOT NULL,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Address varchar(255),
InsertedBy varchar(255) DEFAULT  APP_NAME()
)

Please advise if there's any better way of doing it.

ThanX in advance

SQL

CREATE TABLE Persons
(
P_Id int NOT NULL,
LastName nvarchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName nvarchar(255),
Address nvarchar(255),
CreatedBy int,
CreatedOn datetime DEFAULT getdate(),
UpdatedBy int,
UpdatedOn datetime 
)

By doing this you can track the user (when multiple user have access to the same page) if it gets updated.
