Looking for design ideas or experience with the following.
We are creating a DB to hold equipment where each record holds a
description of equipment. They want to have the ability to have 1 to many
"versions" of the record. For example, if a device firmware or
configuration is updated, they want to maintain the old record.
I'm thinking I can accomplish all this by simply adding a "Version" column
to the database. Version could have values such as "1.0", "1.2", or
*CURRENT if it's the latest. When a new version is needed, we simply copy
the record and update the VERSION field.
Feedback with this approach?
Thanks in advance, Paul
