I think this is a case of,

• You're trying to solve a problem
• You've come up with a solution
• You don't know how to implement the solution
• so now you're asking for help on how to implement the solution

The better way to get help,

• Tell us what the problem is
• ask for ideas for solving the problem
• pick the best solution

I can't tell what the problem you're trying to solve is. Sometimes it's obvious from the question, this one certainly isn't. But I can tell you that this 'solution' will turn into its own maintenance nightmare. If you think developing the database and the app that uses it is hard. This idea of versioning the entire database in a human readable form is nothing short of insane.
