Back to the future with Temporal Tables

Back to the Future is the greatest time travel movie ever. I'll show you how temporal tables work, in both SQL Server and Azure SQL Database, without needing a DeLorean.

We cover point in time analysis, reconstructing state at any time in the past, recovering from accidental data loss, calculating trends, and my personal favourite: auditing.

There's even a bit of In-Memory OLTP.

There are lots of demos at the end.
