Current sessions
What's new in MS SQL for developers?
MS SQL 2019 is here. Maybe you're still using old versions of the engine and not sure why you should upgrade to the new version? Let's explore together some of the new features and enhancements that Microsoft team has brought to us in their inventive kitchen. Accompanied with multiple examples, this session will show you many interesting topics.
Historical data with MS SQL System-Versioned (Temporal) Tables
Before the existence of system-versioned temporal tables, tracking changes in a database table forced us to implement some custom solutions based on triggers, stored procedures etc.
System-versioned temporal tables offer us the possibility to keep a full history of data changes and allowing us easy point in time analysis. Using this solution, we can easily time travel through the data and see what the exact state of the data in a point of time was.
In this session we will see what system-versioned temporal tables are, how we can create and use them and what are the limitations and benefits of such implementation.
