Providing Time-Related Constraints for Conventional Database Systems

Summary: Introduces a historical-data model using tuples with physical and logical timestamps, distinguishing versioning from correction updates under write-once storage constraints. Tracks time-varying integrity rules to support back-dated corrections, exposing unavoidable nulls for set-valued attributes. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
