跟踪数据库中的更改

Question

我的数据库需要跟踪一些列，但不是全部。我看过一些实现跟踪的设计，例如 (Ideas on database design for capturing audit trails).

然而，这似乎非常浪费，而且因为我真的只需要跟踪几个关键列，所以我觉得这对我来说不是最佳解决方案。

现在我想到了一种方法来解决我的情况，但我不确定我是否会忽略这种方法的设计缺陷。

User
----
ID PK        INT
Username     VARCHAR(MAX)    

Employee
-----
ID PK        INT
Name         VARCHAR(MAX)

PensionScheme
-------------
ID PK         INT
EmpID FK      INT (References Employee)
IsActive      BOOLEAN
ModifiedBy FK INT (References User)
EffectiveFrom DATETIME

上面的模式只是一个高度简化的示例，但抓住了本质。

本质上，雇员可以参加或不参加养老金计划，必须跟踪对此属性的更改。当需要更改该属性时插入带有时间戳的新行。

如果您想知道该员工是否参加养老金计划，您必须找到具有最新时间戳的行。

我目前看到的唯一缺陷是，如果插入 Employee，PensionScheme 中没有匹配的行 table。虽然我正在考虑使用 INSERT 触发器来添加默认行来解决这个问题。

我真的只是在寻找关于这个设计的想法。我对数据库中的更改跟踪没有经验。

您可能对 system versioning functionality available in MariaDB starting from the version 10.3.4-beta 感兴趣。

基本思路是这样的（当然你需要根据自己的实际需要调整结构）：

MariaDB [test]> CREATE TABLE PensionScheme (
                  ID INT PRIMARY KEY, 
                  EmpID INT, 
                  IsActive BOOLEAN WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING, 
                  ModifiedBy INT, 
                  EffectiveFrom DATETIME
                );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.17 sec)

MariaDB [test]> INSERT INTO PensionScheme VALUES (1,2,0,1,NULL);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

MariaDB [test]> SELECT * FROM PensionScheme WHERE EmpID = 2;
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------+
| ID | EmpID | IsActive | ModifiedBy | EffectiveFrom |
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------+
|  1 |     2 |        0 |          1 | NULL          |
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [test]> UPDATE PensionScheme 
                  SET IsActive = 1, ModifiedBy = 2 WHERE EmpID = 2;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Inserted: 1  Warnings: 0

MariaDB [test]> SELECT * FROM PensionScheme WHERE EmpID = 2;
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------+
| ID | EmpID | IsActive | ModifiedBy | EffectiveFrom |
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------+
|  1 |     2 |        1 |          2 | NULL          |
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [test]> SELECT ID, IsActive, ModifiedBy, row_start, row_end 
                  FROM PensionScheme FOR system_time ALL WHERE EmpID = 2;
+----+----------+------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
| ID | IsActive | ModifiedBy | row_start                  | row_end                    |
+----+----------+------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+

|  1 |        1 |          2 | 2018-01-28 15:00:56.430942 | 2038-01-19 05:14:07.999999 |
+----+----------+------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
2 rows in set, 3 warnings (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [test]> UPDATE PensionScheme SET EffectiveFrom = NOW() WHERE EmpID = 2;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Inserted: 0  Warnings: 0

MariaDB [test]> SELECT ID, IsActive, ModifiedBy, row_start, row_end 
                  FROM PensionScheme FOR system_time ALL WHERE EmpID = 2;
+----+----------+------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
| ID | IsActive | ModifiedBy | row_start                  | row_end                    |
+----+----------+------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
|  1 |        0 |          1 | 2018-01-28 14:59:54.955159 | 2018-01-28 15:00:56.430942 |
|  1 |        1 |          2 | 2018-01-28 15:00:56.430942 | 2038-01-19 05:14:07.999999 |
+----+----------+------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+
2 rows in set, 3 warnings (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [test]> SELECT * FROM PensionScheme WHERE EmpID = 2;
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------------+
| ID | EmpID | IsActive | ModifiedBy | EffectiveFrom       |
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------------+
|  1 |     2 |        1 |          2 | 2018-01-28 15:03:19 |
+----+-------+----------+------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
