Afraid MySQL is a requirement, but I've come up with a relatively painless
way to achieve this.  Thanks for the info just the same.

Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] MySQL versioning system


This is almost exactly what I'm doing where I work.
We need to record all changes to data (what changed, when, and by who).

If using MySQL is not a must, then you should look into PostgreSQL.
You can use triggers (and rules) in PostgreSQL to automatically record
all the changes on table A into table B.
