Everything about Transaction time

In temporal databases, transaction time is the time when some data has been loaded into a database. The time when a transaction is valid can be called the transaction time-period. It is a technical timeline controlled by a integration layer. More formally, it is the point-in-time during which a fact stored in the database is considered to be true. Wikipedia →
