I didn't see any previous posts on this subject and didn't find anything in the IBI documentation but has anyone tried using SQL Server Temporal Tables with WebFOCUS? I have a project where I need to track some trend data but just snapshotting the source table daily for the time periods in question is going to become expensive in terms of storage resources.

I have viable alternative solutions that will work if need be but it would be neat to use this feature in conjunction with WebFOCUS and I think it would save me effort and resources when it comes to building certain types of reports.

Hi DrE

Welcome to Focal Point. It is a great forum to get answers to your development questions.

I found this tidbit in a internal project to support temporal tables.

Just for the record, regarding Temporal support in SQL Server
2016:
MS has implemented only System-versioned tables and has not
implemented Application-time ones (strange move).
They've implemented extensions FOR SYSTEM TIME AS OF, FROM TO
etc. that ANSI provides for querying System-versioned tables.
I'm not sure how valuable this feature will be for our customer
audience. I imagine that Application-time temporal tables would
be more usable

Not sure if this helps you or not. In the mean tim try to access them and see if it works.


Thank you for using Focal Point!
