I don't think you can do this without in-db parsing.  But,
if it's in-db, it can be loop-holed or hacked.  You'd have
to have the server log the commands in some way, but then
(in my opinion) you violate the theory of "division of
server and db".

You know, these issues are the same for any system
administration, whether Unix, Novell, or NT (in increasing
order of gag reflex).
