Hi Peter
Thanks for the prompt response.
Yes, this is an open source project which will be shared with the community. We will also consider hiring appropriate
consultants.
At a summary level, we have a proven approach for how a relational database can provide comprehensive logical insert,
updateand delete functionality through an append only paradigm which effectively delivers a perfect audit ie a means to
accessthe database at any point in the audit (time) and for all data to be in a relationally correct state.
In so doing, we are removing the need for the use of update and delete code (as presently used) with enhancements to
theinsert code module.
We presently achieve this affect by use of a generator which creates an application specific database environment for
appendonly (with a normal current view schema being the input for the generator).
The specification for the requirements of the insert code module is very detailed. Our challenge is to identify
appropriatePostgreSQL architects/programmers who have experience of the PostgreSQL database kernel. More specifically,
tooutline the general approach and work packages to go about this.
Regards
Luke

If yours is an open-source project that you eventually want to share with the community, then you can discuss it on
thismailing list.
If it is a closed-source, proprietary, or in-house project, then the community isn't the right place to discuss it, but
youcould hire professional consultants to help you, depending on your needs.
