It’s Time for a Change – Temporal Table Support in SQL Server 2016
Without temporal tables (AKA history tables), we can only see the current version of data. We can’t see rows that have been deleted or rows as they existed before the latest update. The temporal table support in SQL Server 2016 gives us the ability to create system maintained “history” tables to track all changes to the table data.
In this session, we’ll discuss why you may need temporal support in your tables, how to implement temporal tables in SQL Server 2016, and how to query such a table using the new FOR SYSTEM_TIME clause in a SELECT statement. We will also discuss and demonstrate bi-temporal design, where both application time and system time are supported.

Microsoft Datazen is a new tool from Microsoft built on a mature and time-tested foundation of enterprise services and visualization components. If you are a SQL Server Enterprise customer, you already own it. Analytic dashboards created by data professionals are available to users on desktops and practically all modern mobile device platforms.
