Instead of storing a version ID (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), you could

So for one document ID, you might store versions 10, 11, 12, 50, 75,
87.
This was my immediate thought as well, but I'd probably cheat and declarr the
document version numbers to be oureky decorative and thus the realm of
userspace to turn them into 1,2,3,4,5 etc. -- one can, after all fix this with
a single line of code.
Performance (and complexity) would be much better than triggers
From the OP: "But version should start at 1 for each document and be
consecutive."
I'd guess that the date_created is being stored in the table, so could
be used to order the records without the need for a serial, if ordering
is the only concern.
