Hi,
I have been looking into temporal database systems. One thing I want to find out is why are they needed instead of say a normal RDBMS? I understand that one reason is the inability of SQL to handle temporal queries(SQL queries become very complex). Another is that they are indexed in a different manner so that queries are executed in an efficient manner.
Are there any other reasons?
Regards,
Sandeep
