Thanks. I've checked out your link, but I'm not sure this would solve my core problem(s). The problem is that even without versioning, a lot of the system is made up of long SQL commands containing subtables and JOINs and such. In several instances I had to optimize the queries. So I wouldn't want to use some ActiveRecord thing or generators. And this is now further complicated by versioning. Technical issues aside, the fact that everything is versioned makes it hard to reason about the data. Eg. the people in charge of "controling" are always asking me for help. Many times it turns out that there's no problem, the data is consistent, they just got confused by the versions.

familiarize yourself with time series data, as mentioned earlier in the thread, and read the amazon dynamo paper specifically the parts dealing with vector clocks.

  As my startup is developing a distributed key-value store, I'm quite familiar with Amazon's Dynamo, and what I was talking about previously has nothing to do with vector clocks.
