AN INQUIRY BASED ANALYSIS OF JUDICIAL AND TEMPORAL DATABASES

A temporal database is a database with built-in support for handling data involving time, being related to the slowly changing dimension concept, for example a temporal data model and a temporal version of Structured Query Language (SQL). A temporal database records facts about when the data was valid as well as the data itself, and permits you to query on the temporal aspects. You end up dealing with 'valid time' and 'transaction time' tables, or 'bitemporal tables' involving both 'valid time' and 'transaction time' aspects.An example of where a temporal database is useful is where data changes over time. Judicial databases often can be correlated to temporal databases, as once the trials on cases get completed, the validity of justice for the victim is over. Hence, to avoid deadlock situations in settling of pending cases, fast track courts that guarantee justice with fairness and a vision into the victims’ future come handy as per the saying, “A stitch in time saves nine”.
