Summary: Advocates integrated temporal support within DBMS, replacing the current snapshot view to retain history for governance, auditing, and trend analysis. Lays out temporal terminology and core DBMS requirements for time-aware storage and queries to generalize history management. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
