  • 0

I would like to have questions marked as “Edited”, but I dont know what the best way to do this would be.

Users post a question, people answer/comment on the question, and if necessary the user edits/updates the question (just like SO). I would like to note that the user edited the question, but I’m not sure of the best way to do this.

I was going to add a last_edited column in the table (because thats all thats really important to me), but I’m not sure if I should just split the edit times (and whatever else) into another table and record everytime the question gets edited.

EDIT: UIf I were to use a timestamp, what time would be used? Is there any way to insert a unix timestmap on update?

    If all what you want is a mark Edited or not, you can just add a Timestamp column in the same table, populated to NULL by default, then populated by last update timestamp.

    On the page if its populated then display its value, otherwise don’t display the Edited icon/symbol.
