These are a tremendous add-on. At this time, this only supports what is called system time - there was a discussion in these lists a little while ago that IBM need to add the other kind of time - application or effective time, I think it's called. This is needed for price changes in a catalog and for effective dates in things like insurance policies.

There is a fine article in developerworks - sorry, I don't know the link - that describes the need for this.

Nevertheless, support for system time is a very cool thing - other than that extra disk space, right? :)

Oh yes! It is really worth to spend some time with the examples that are
published. Just Google "ibm i temporal tables".

Once playing with them I'm sure one will find use cases for them! We did
from the moment they came available and have never regret.
