Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for generating an audit trail of a record including receiving a request to generate an audit trail of the record, the request comprising a record identifier of the record and a date value, identifying commit data structures corresponding to the record based on the record identifier, each commit data structure corresponding to a set of changes previously applied to fields of the record and comprising a timestamp value, a list of changes made to fields, and a prior commit pointer pointing to a prior commit data structure, identifying commit data structures that are pertinent to the request based at least in part on the timestamp value of at least one commit data structure and the date value, and generating the audit trail of the record based on the list of changes in each commit data structure in the identified commit data structures.
