"Whether you're a database designer, programmer, analyst, or manager, you've probably encountered some of the challenges - and experienced some of the frustrations - associated with time-varying data. Where do you turn to fix the problem and see that it doesn't happen again? In Developing Time-Oriented Database Applications in SQL, a leading SQL researcher teaches you effective techniques for designing and building database applications that must integrate past and current data.
Written to meet a pervasive, enduring need, this book will be indispensible if you happen to be part of the flurry of activity leading up to Y2K."--BOOK JACKET.
