This review paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of blockchain-integrated logging mechanisms aimed at ensuring data integrity, traceability, and auditability in relational database transactions. By examining hybrid architectures that combine blockchain's immutability with conventional relational database features, the study explores how decentralized ledgers can secure logs against tampering, ensure verifiable audit trails, and enhance accountability in mission-critical applications. Various models such as append-only blockchains, smart contract-based verifications, and off-chain/on-chain synchronization strategies are analyzed for their performance, scalability, and compliance capabilities.
