New Event Feature in MySQL 5.1.6New Event Feature in MySQL 5.1.6Posted Jan 26, 2006 1:18 UTC (Thu) by pimlott (guest, #1535)In reply to: New Event Feature in MySQL 5.1.6 by nix Parent article: New Event Feature in MySQL 5.1.6
While jwb's post was riotous, the ability to run a query "in the past" would be terribly useful. Imagine you find out today that your database-using application did something wacko yesterday. You want to figure out why, but the data's changed in the meantime. Encoding time-series data yourself is quite tedious, so in a perfect world the DBMS would do it. Of course, this should be an on-line, not recovery, feature.

New Event Feature in MySQL 5.1.6 Posted Jan 26, 2006 20:04 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] And of course having gone back, changes should lead to the creation of a branch! w00t!
(er, OK, perhaps not... although I *have* designed a database-backed filesystem sitting atop FUSE which works like this. Now all I have to do is *implement* the damn thing.)
