Programming With Revision History

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of any good literature on programming revision history into
an application? I'm looking for something covering theory around revision
history.

For a little background info, I'm dealing with lesson plans that will need
to be edited by many different sources. I like the way wikimedia handles
revision history, but I'm just curious what my options are.

Thanks,

Nate

Hello,

Think in this way:

You would be needing two tables:

first one:

content table:

contentID, contentType, revisionID contentID is the PK ( you can
make the UI for adding and deleting these fields)

content_revisions table

revisionID, contentID, revisionID is the PK

Great things start from simple thinking. You can use this model to implement
revisions. In some PHP CMS we currently have they also use serialized data
fields for each revision.

Thanks
