Where the above leads to is implementing a version control system inside
the database. Not necessarily a bad idea, but something I personally see
as better handled by dedicated version control software. Myself, I use
sqitch(http://sqitch.org/) in combination with Mercurial to keep track
of object creation and changes. Being independent of the database it
handles dealing with multiple instances(think dev, testing, production)
easier.
