Abstract

The incorporation of a knowledge of time within database systems allows for temporally related information to be modelled more naturally and consistently. Adding this support to the metadatabase further enhances its semantic capability and allows elaborate interrogation of data. This paper presents SQL/SE, an SQL extension capable of handling schema evolution in relational database systems.
