Version Tables

Each entity type has a corresponding version table that mirrors the original table structure with additional version metadata.

Common Version Metadata

All version tables include these standard columns:

version_id          UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid()
{entity}_id         UUID NOT NULL  -- FK to original entity
version_number      INTEGER NOT NULL
created_at          TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT now()
created_by          UUID  -- FK to profiles (original submitter)
change_type         version_change_type NOT NULL DEFAULT 'updated'
change_reason       TEXT
submission_id       UUID  -- FK to content_submissions
is_current          BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true

Enum: version_change_type

CREATE TYPE version_change_type AS ENUM (
  'created',
  'updated', 
  'deleted',
  'restored',
  'archived'
);

Triggers

Automatic Version Creation

Each entity table has an AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE trigger that calls the create_relational_version() function.

-- Example: Park versioning trigger
CREATE TRIGGER create_park_version_on_change
  AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON parks
  FOR EACH ROW
  EXECUTE FUNCTION public.create_relational_version();

Triggers exist for:

• parks → create_park_version_on_change
• rides → create_ride_version_on_change
• companies → create_company_version_on_change
• ride_models → create_ride_model_version_on_change

Row-Level Security (RLS)

All version tables have RLS enabled with these policies:

Public Access

CREATE POLICY "Public can view current versions"
ON park_versions
FOR SELECT
USING (is_current = true);

Moderator Access

CREATE POLICY "Moderators can view all versions"
ON park_versions
FOR SELECT
USING (is_moderator(auth.uid()));

User Access

CREATE POLICY "Users can view their own versions"
ON park_versions
FOR SELECT
USING (created_by = auth.uid());

System Access

-- Triggers can insert (SECURITY DEFINER)
-- No UPDATE or DELETE policies (only system can modify)

Example Queries

Get Version History

SELECT 
  version_number,
  created_at,
  change_type,
  p.username as changed_by_username,
  name,
  description
FROM park_versions pv
LEFT JOIN profiles p ON p.user_id = pv.created_by
WHERE park_id = 'uuid-here'
ORDER BY version_number DESC;

Compare Versions

SELECT * FROM get_version_diff(
  'park',
  'older-version-uuid',
  'newer-version-uuid'
);

Find Recent Changes

SELECT 
  pv.version_number,
  pv.created_at,
  p.username,
  parks.name as park_name
FROM park_versions pv
JOIN parks ON parks.id = pv.park_id
LEFT JOIN profiles p ON p.user_id = pv.created_by
WHERE pv.created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
ORDER BY pv.created_at DESC;

Cleanup Old Versions

-- Keep only 50 most recent versions per park
SELECT cleanup_old_versions('park', 50);

Performance Considerations

• Indexes ensure fast lookups by entity_id, created_at, and is_current
• Partitioning could be added for very large version tables
• Archival old versions can be moved to cold storage
• Cleanup should run monthly to prevent unbounded growth

Migration Notes

The old entity_versions JSONB table is deprecated but retained for backward compatibility. New versions are written only to relational tables. See MIGRATION.md for migration details.
