SQL/Temporal
SQL/Temporal is an extension of SQL (Structured Query Language) that allows databases to track changes over time. It enables users to store not just current data, but also historical data, automatically recording when changes occur. This is useful for auditing, understanding how data has evolved, and retrieving past states of data. Temporal tables help manage time-based data efficiently, ensuring that users can query information as it was at any given point in time without manual record-keeping. Overall, it enhances data management by providing a comprehensive view of the data's history.
