Creating a new version

As previously discussed, we can decide to mark a new milestone for a certain table; in other words, we can start a new version. We will now create a new version as an exercise.

In the Tracking panel for the author table, we see the dialog for creating version 2 (as the highest one is currently version 1):

Creating a new version

We notice that each version can track its own set of statements; versions are independent from each other in this matter. Here, we have decided that version 2 will track only data-definition statements. We now see something interesting relative to the status of these versions, as shown in the following screenshot:

Creating a new version

Indeed, version 1 was automatically marked as not active; it went into some kind of historical status. We can also have a look at version 2's snapshot, which reflects that the name column is a VARCHAR(40).

Quickly accessing tracking information

When we are in the Tracking panel for one table, a shortcut dialog allows us to go directly to the Tracking panel of any other tracked table.

To explore this feature, let us now create version 1 of the book table. After this is done, we examine the drop-down list next to Show versions button, as shown in the following screenshot:

Quickly accessing tracking information

This list is similar to what we would see in the Tracking panel for database marc_book when looking at the Tracked tables portion, but without the need to go back to this panel.
