Abstract
Several database systems have implemented temporal data support, partly according to the model specified in the last SQL standard and partly according to other, older temporal models. In this article we use the most important temporal concepts to investigate their implementations in enterprise database systems. Also, we discuss strengths and weaknesses of these implementations and give suggestions for future extensions.
