- Setting: A Database, where changes on a record must be kept, i.e.
- a history of changes by storing records as an archive
- before it changes.
- Problem: Space limitation. Records can be as large as 1MByte.
-
- Solution: Well, that is what I am looking for. I have thought
- of compression, keeping delta records, and finaly
- I came uppon reverse delta records.
-
- Now the only thing I need is an algorithm for it.
-
- Anyone out there can point me to the right direction?
-
- Thank you.
