First sentence: It was "as if you fired a 15-inch naval shell at a piece of tissue paper and the shell came right back and hit you."
Description: "Whether you're a database designer, programmer, analyst, or manager, you've probably encountered some of the challenges - and experienced some of the frustrations - associated with time-varying data. Where do you turn to fix the problem and see that it doesn't happen again? In Developing Time-Oriented Database Applications in SQL, a leading SQL researcher teaches you effective techniques for designing and building database applications that must integrate past and current data.

Written to meet a pervasive, enduring need, this book will be indispensible if you happen to be part of the flurry of activity leading up to Y2K."--BOOK JACKET.
