I think what you’re really looking for is an audit log. There are some Django packages available that do that automatically.
You might find this one quite helpful, called Django Reversion: https://github.com/etianen/django-reversion From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of mickael.ba...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2018 12:22 PM To: Django users Subject: Newbie : Best data archive strategy Hi, I'd like to archive some data. I came with this idea : class DataModel(models.Model): xxx class DataModelArchive(DataModel): pass The DataModelArchive database created has only "a pointer" to DataModel. I saw a post indicating that I'll have to first create an AbstractDataModel and inherit for it for both DataModelArchive and DataModel. Well, what is the "best way" to archive data using Django ?
