Why not just create a history table and have the trigger copy the data out
of the table into the history table with a time stamp of the change. Then
you don't need the query.
For example
Table A
a_id,
a_value1,
a_value2
Table A_hist
a_id,
a_dt,
a_value1,
a_value2
Then A_hist has a PK of a_id, a_dt
This would also be a lot easier to see WHAT changed and WHEN. You can use
the NEW.col and OLD.col to see the new and old values during inserts and
updates.
Of course, I don't know your need so this may not be achieving your goal.
