DWhat should I read? Any links.. on checking if changes were made?

Question

Hi All,
I need to record to an audit table everything that was changed at time of submitting a form.
I could capture every value at load - BUT I see there are statuses of:
I - Inserted
U - Updated
R - Reset
How do I access these? Are they solid, reliable?
What should I read? Any links to examples?
Thank you, Bill..

need to record to an audit table everything that was changed at time of submitting a form
The most reliable way to do this is in a row-level trigger on the table.
create or replace trigger t1
after insert or update or delete
on table mytable
for each row
begin
access :old.col1 and :new.col1, if they are different, log to a table.
