Prospects for Managing Database Record Versions

The relevance of researching database record versions is explained by the increase in the vol-ume of information and the growing complexity of structured data. The effectiveness and limi-tations of several approaches to storing versioned data structures with complex relationships between objects in relational and non-relational databases have been researched and analyzed. Based on the comparison, the necessity of implementing versioning as a built-in tool for man-aging modern databases is demonstrated. An approach to implementing versioning is pro-posed, which uses the principles of flexible storage and management of the history of record changes.
