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.

Performance evaluation of a temporal database management system
A prototype of a temporal database management system was built by extending Ingres. It supports the temporal query language TQuel, a superset of Quel, handling four types of database static, rollback, historical and temporal. A benchmark set of queries ...
A Temporal Database Management System Implemented on top of a Conventional Database
SCCC '00: Proceedings of the XX International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science SocietyTemporal data models have proven to be convenient to specify applications, allowing the representation of the temporal evolution of data. Several temporal data models were proposed in the last 20 years with this purpose, but no commercial implementation ...
A lightweight and efficient temporal database management system in TDSQL
Driven by the recent adoption of temporal expressions into SQL:2011, extensions of temporal support in conventional database management systems (a.b.a. DBMSs) have re-emerged as a research hotspot. In this paper, we present a lightweight yet efficient ...
