To enable change data capture (CDC) for db1, you need to run the stored procedure sys.sp_cdc_enable_db in the database context. CDC is a feature that records activity on a database when tables and rows have been modified1. CDC can be used for various scenarios, such as data synchronization, auditing, or ETL processes2.
Here are the steps to enable CDC for db1:
Connect to db1 using SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio, or any other tool that supports Transact-SQL statements.
Open a new query window and run the following command: EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_db; GO
This command will enable CDC for the database and create the cdc schema, cdc user, metadata tables, and other system objects for the database3.
To verify that CDC is enabled for db1, you can query the is_cdc_enabled column in the sys.databases catalog view. The value should be 1 for db1.
