Hmm. You have an audit_ table for each table that is audited. I chose
to have one big ugly audit table for all audited tables. I wonder which

Right off the bat I can see that if you add or rename a column you would
need to add or rename a column in your audit_ table

Hi Ian,
I created one audit table for each table in the database just because
that seemed to me to be the sensible thing to do. The reason we want
audit tables is so that we can ask the question: what was the state of
the database 6 months ago and the easiest way to answer that question
is with
Ah, time travel. I don't think it will be quite that easy since if
there was no modification of a record on that day, there will be no data
returned, and if there were several modifications on that day, there
will be several records returned. I think you will need a correlated
subquery for each
Have you thought about unifying the audit + the current table and add
from/to datestamps for every record?
Example:
from_dt to_dt value
9/1/2004 9/30/2004 ABC
9/30/2004 10/5/2004 XYZ
10/6/2004 12/31/ 123
This would let you use the following query on the same table whether you
Oh yes. I do that a lot for attributes that need a history (last name,
which changes when you get married, etc) It is a bit more complicated
for queries though, since I use null to indicate an unknown end date
