Abstract

Although research on temporal database systems has been active for about 20 years, implementations have not appeared until recently. This is one reason why current commercial database systems provide only limited temporal functionality. This paper summarizes extant state of the art of temporal database implementations. Rather than being very specific about each system we have attempted to provide an indication of the functionality together with pointers to additional information. It is hoped that this leads to more efforts pushing the implementation of temporal database systems in the near future.
