Say we have an entity PERSON, with id, name, et cetera; and an entity STATUS_HISTORY with attributes: id, person_id, status_id, start_date_active, user_id et cetera. Then, status modifications can be easily implemented by simply adding a new record to the status_history table. That’s all. ;-)

For example, say you repeat your update… ouch! You’re updating your audit rows too!
