Track changes in postgresql

I need to track changes to records in a table. What I did was create a second table that inherits from the first and adds a revision counter.

CREATE TABLE A (
id SERIAL,
foo TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (id));

CREATE TABLE B (
revision INTEGER NOT NULL) INHERITS (A);

Then I created a trigger that will update table B every time A is inserted / updated. What I cannot understand is how to get B.revision to maintain an individual "sequence" for each identifier.

Example: table A has 2 rows, i and j.
I have been updated 3 times and should have 3 revisions: (1, 2, 3).
j has been updated 2 times and should have two revisions: (1, 2).

That's what I still have, maybe I'm going the wrong way, and someone can help me!

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION table_update() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $table_update$
    DECLARE
        last_revision INTEGER;
    BEGIN
        SELECT INTO last_revision MAX(revision) FROM B WHERE id = NEW.id;

        IF NOT FOUND THEN
            last_revision := 0;
        END IF;

        INSERT INTO B SELECT NEW.*;

        RETURN NEW;
    END;
$table_update$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

CREATE TRIGGER table_update
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON A
    FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE table_update();

    UPDATE 2

      1 | you |        1

    (3 rows)

    try=# select * from b where id = 1 order by revision;
     id | foo | revision

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION table_update() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $table_update$
DECLARE
    last_revision INTEGER;
BEGIN
    SELECT INTO last_revision coalesce(MAX(revision), 0) FROM B WHERE id = NEW.id;

    INSERT INTO B SELECT NEW.*, last_revision + 1;

    RETURN NEW;
END;
$table_update$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

"if not found" coalesce, "0", . B .

: "only", A :

select * from only A
update only A set foo = ... where id = ...
0

Here is the extended Aduit package for postgres that I used in the past: Audit Trigger . It keeps track of the type of update (insert, update, delete), as well as the before and after values ​​for the update.

--THIS TABLE AUTOMATICALLY INCREMENT THE COLUMN VALUES USING TRIGGER
CREATE TABLE emp_table(
  emp_id int not null,
  emp_name varchar not null,
  emp_rollno int not null,
  primary key(emp_id)

--Now create table with three column and emp_id is primary key
--and emp_rollno both are automatically increment in trigger is fired
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION emp_fun() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $BODY$
--creating function emp_fun()

  IF(tg_op='INSERT') THEN
    NEW.emp_id=COALESCE((SELECT MAX(emp_id)+1 FROM emp_table), 1);
    NEW.emp_rollno=COALESCE((SELECT MAX(emp_rollno)+1 FROM emp_table), 1);
    --trigger is fired values is automatically increment
END IF;

IF tg_op='DELETE' THEN RETURN OLD; ELSE RETURN NEW; END IF;
END; $BODY$LANGUAGE PLPGSQL

CREATE TRIGGER emp_fun BEFORE INSERT ON
  emp_table FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE emp_fun();

INSERT INTO emp_table(emp_name) VALUES('BBB');
--insert the value tanle emp_table
SELECT * FROM emp_table
-- Check the result
