Word. In the company I'm currently working at we store database schema
in a VCS repository with minor and major version taggings. And there is
a current_foo_soft_version() function that returns the revision of the
related database schema. If there is no control over the database schema
changes in a company working scheme, the most logging-feature-rich
PostgreSQL release will provide an insignificant benefit compared the
mess needs to get fixed.
