Abstract

We review attempts at defining a general extension to the relational algebra toinclude temporal semantics, and define two temporal operators to achieve a temporal relational algebra with a close correspondence to temporal logic using since and until. We then demonstrate how this temporal relational algebra may to a limited extent be encoded in standard relational algebra, and in turn show how an extended temporal SQL may be encoded in standard SQL.
