Re: Audit based on role

Hi,
I personally don't like the solution from
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Audit_trigger and here are the reasons why:
* it produces a large table where all the changes, from all tables and
schemas go - audit.logged_actions. So when you would like to read it to
check anything it will be super slow
* On audit table are 3 indexes - which slow down the insert process
* All the data are kept in one column - so when comes to any analysis you
need custom functions to do it

Besides: Why there is fillfactor=100? That's the default value for table,
isn't it?

I use a bit different approach:
* every table has got separate table in a audit schema
* audited data are partinioned (usually per month)
* it's much easier to remove old data - just by dropping partition
* data has got exactly the same structure as in original schema

Every od those solution has got pros and cons but I prefer the second one a
lot more.
