Data Time Travel with SQL Server Temporal Tables with MVP Sam Nasr

TONIGHT IS VIRTUAL ONLY

Many times developers have to support users by answering “What happened to the data?” The task of retrieving data from a specific point in time is not an easy one. Often this involves retrieving a backup and restoring the data in question (hopefully!). SQL Server 2016 introduced Temporal Tables, allowing a developer to retrieve data from a specific point in time, without backups. With a few TSQL commands a historical table can be created, automatically updated, and readily accessed.
