== Bitemporality and the Art of Maintaining Accurate Databases

Bitemporality and the Art of Maintaining Accurate Databases. +
How often have you had to add a `modified_at` or `effective_from` column to a database table?  +
Have you ever had to keep old versions of data around and make it visible to end users? +
 +
Time is a fundamental aspect of data modeling — and yet application developers are frequently reduced to rolling their own half-baked ‘bitemporal’ SQL schemas on top of popular database systems.  +
 +
This ad hoc approach to handling time has been the status quo for decades, but it's a complicated, risky business — and new systems can do better. +
 +
Bitemporal modeling equips developers with a rigorous abstraction for working with immutable data and versioned records. +
 +
Join this webinar to discover the most common use cases for bitemporal modeling, and learn how it impacts the design and maintenance of applications. +
 +
Key takeaways: +
 +
* Familiarize yourself with the SQL:2011 standard temporal features +
* Understand the landscape of existing approaches and tools for implementing bitemporality to ensure successful projects  +
* Discover how you can visualize your own bitemporal data using an open source interactive tool +
 +
At the end of the session, after Q&A, our speakers will share a quick demo of XTDB: a modern database that incorporates a bitemporal index at its core.  +
