actually, release 4.1 on S/38. That's about late 1983 timeframe.

and journalling is not new to Oracle, or many of the other database vendors.
It's the rollback and selectivity of rollback operations that's really new.
On the 38 and 400, you have been able to do that for more than a decade. But

forward to a point in time, not erase a moment in the past.
