title: Flask-sqlalchemy - Count how many times a REST endpoint(or db record) has been requested
body: <p>I am making a flask app which will serve with rest endpoints to the frontend. The website is for browsing guitar chords and tabs. I want to be able to count how many times a chord been requested and store this counter persistently.</p>
  
  <p>the endpoint looks like this: /chord/string:chord_id</p>
  
  <p>Is it a good idea to add a column to each table and increment this value each time the row is accessed? Is there another way of doing this smoothly?</p>
  
  <p>I hope my question is clear. Thanks already!</p>
