Temporal Tables – Looking Back Into Your Data’s Past
Monday February 24, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm IST
Newton
We all work in environments where data is changing, often rapidly. At times it would be nice to know what the data looked like an hour, a day, or even a week ago. With conventional files and tables this is hard, that might even involve restoring data from journals. SQL Temporal Tables alleviates all of that work. They allow you to view the data as it was at any time, and allows many people to view the data at different times all at the same time.
