this looks mostly like what i need. however, i really don't like the
idea to store the whole data over and over again. i'd rather want a
"reverse diff": store the data in it's current form and be able to
roll back from there. i fear this can't be done easily.

the temporal sql looks brilliant. this is exactly what i need :-) is
there any other (maybe non free) database which supports this ?
