Integration of Time Versions into a Relational Database System

Summary: Proposes integrating time-version support as a native relational database function for applications needing historical instances. Unifies timestamp semantics, compact history storage, version-aware updates, recovery, and concurrency control in one design. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
