Building a temporal data solution

Temporal data refers to data at specific points in time. Building a temporal solution deals with building systems that can handle and store such time based data. We have already seen how to use the Azure SQL Temporal tables feature to build such a system in Chapter 4, Designing the Serving Layer under the section: Designing a solution for temporal data. Since we have already explored this topic in detail there, we will not be repeating it again. Please refer to Chapter 4 to refresh your memory about Temporal tables.

Let us next learn how to implement a slowly changing dimension.
