I would like some kind of revision control history for my sql database.
I would like this table to keep updating with a record of who, deleted what, etc, when.
I am connecting to MySQL using Perl.

Approach 1: Create a separate “audit” table and use triggers to populate the info.
Here’s a brief guide for MySQL (and Postrges): http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7252
Approach 2: Populate the audit info from your Perl database access code. Ideally, as part of the same transaction. There’s no significant win over the first approach and many downsides (you don’t catch changes made OUTSIDE of your code, for one)
