It'd be quite low level, but already feasible.
Er, assuming that the user is keeping binlogs, and using MySQL for
that matter. And assuming your application has filesystem read access
to the binlogs, which would be approximately equal to having read
access to all databases for security purposes. And assuming that
they're kept forever, or that you're okay with having your history
truncated every time the binlogs are. Which is a lot of assumptions.
I was merely assuming a toolserver scenario. So mysql is used, having
read access isn't a big deal and sensitive data isn't replicated (i think).
Plus, why keeping them forever? You probably only want a small time
fraction, for tracking changes. Thus the new field would be useless for
many entries.
