Re: [GENERAL] rollback question...

How large is the pool of information you are dealing with..... how much
granularity are you looking for?

I suppose you could put in a rule that copied the entire table on every
update.... then age out the copies after a while...

Mabe even do a bit of re-designing the structure if possible to accomodate
a date stamp on a record and allow dupliate records.. then select only the
latest one... then you could delete any change you liked....
