Hi All,
I am happy to announce that we have released the first beta version of
the revision storage engine. The DDengines Revision Engine for MySQL is
a storage pluggin for MySQL 5.1. It is designed to automatically version
data of a database table and store it in a way where the retrieval of
historical versions of datasets is easy to manage. The Revision Engine
is not a new type of physical storage engine but a middle ware between
the MySQL core and all other available storage engines. It uses already
existing storage engines (e.g. MyISAM) to physically store current and
historic versions.
Today’s national and international regulations laws require that data is
archived and reproducible for several years. Software developers spend
major time in order to guarantee the needs of lawyers and data security
engineers. Database technology as the core technology for data storage
of applications can support the developers in order to master the task
of reproducible data engineering. The Revision engine can perform data
versioning in several different modes to fit the needs of performance
and disk footprint.
