this approach is also available as an extension here:
https://github.com/supabase/supa_audit
it uses a slightly more generic implementation so that you can easily turn on/off auditing. i.e.
```
    select audit.enable_tracking('public.account'::regclass);
```

I've been using my own audit trigger for 3 years now.
https://github.com/cmabastar/audit-trigger
It uses the old and tested http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Audit_trigger_91plus
but with JSONB instead of HSTORE, and automatically creates partitioned tables by month (Requires PG11+).
