Hi AbdelAziz,
IIUC, what you want to do is this
1. Create a schema for every version of data
2. The tables which do not change across versions are shared by the
corresponding schemas
3. The tables which change with version are created and copied to the
corresponding schema from (older?) schema

If that's correct, it might be possible to implement it with updatable
views - one view per schema pointing to the underlying shared table.
The view might be able to accommodate some changes to table schema
without actually creating a new table.
