May be my title is not clear. I am looking for some kind of version control on database tables, like subversion does on files, like wiki does.
I want to trace the changes log. I want to extract and run the diff in reverse. (undo like a ‘svn merge -r 101:100’). I may need a indexed search on the history.
I’ve read the ‘Design Pattern for Undo Engine‘, but it is related to ‘Patterns’. Are there anything I could reuse without reinvent the wheel?
EDIT: For example, bank account transactions. I have column ‘balance'(and others) updated in table. a user will find a mistake by him 10 days later, and he will want to cancel/rollback the specific transaction, without changing others.
How can I do it gracefully in the application level?
Martin Fowler covers the topic in Patterns for things that change with time. Still patterns and not an actual framework but he shows example data and how to use it.
