Transaction Time

  • different_from: Valid Time

  • sometimes transaction time is a single point (instant): creation

  • sometimes transaction time is a range (interval): from creation until update (valid-in-database) time

    • valid-in-database end of range is "NOW" until update/deletion occurs
    • if update, the transaction end time should be inferrable (with pretty good accuracy) from creation time for next record
    • if delete, range seems more practical
    • in immutable datastores, only delete
