Body
At the beginning the application have an <code>admins</code> and <code>employees</code> and <code>records</code>. The records table has many columns than can be changed by any employee. However, this change can not be submitted. When the admin approve for an edit the record will show up again in the system. I was trying to identify the column name and the value, and send it to another table using triggers on UPDATE. So when the employee edits any record, the record will be disabled in the system. Also the admin will be able to know which values has been changed. Is this possible in databases ? <pre><code>Records Table ------------------------------------------------------------------- record_id record_name record_serial record_active ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 something 5151 YES </code></pre> When an update happens to the record_serial, such as from 5151 to 9844 I need to do this. <pre><code>Records_changes ------------------------------------------------------------------- change_id record_col record_old_val record_new_val ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 record_serial 5151 9844 </code></pre> At the same time <pre><code>------------------------------------------------------------------- record_id record_name record_serial record_active ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 something 9844 NO </code></pre> I can do it using my application, but if there is anyway to do it using the database it would be much nicer. I will use this to track the changes, and also create a history for the records old values. I am using <code>MySQL</code>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
