Great. Thanks, Joe. It's kind of ironic that a SQL working draft is
archived as a Lotus Notes document. I'll have to have a nice
read-through though. The various SIGMOD Snodgrass articles and
TimeCenter publications lead me to believe that temporal support in SQL
database management systems could really make life simple. Hopefully an
incremental approach for PostgreSQL is possible, because my home-grown
temporal RI system is turning into a bit of a nightmare...

Thanks again,
