Re: schema version control

No TRIGGERs on ALTER TABLE statements.

mysqldump --no-data, plus svn, is probably the surest way to track changes. But it only checks as often as you run the script.

Next you will want ways to rollback changes? That gets really messy. (Think DROP COLUMN, then ADD it back -- complete with data.)

Perhaps you should start by limiting how many people have GRANT permission to make changes.
