SQL Server 2016 introduces support for system-versioned temporal tables. Unfortunately, application-time tables are not implemented neither in this version, nor in SQL Server 2017. System-versioned temporal tables bring built-in support for providing information about data stored in the table at any point in time rather than only the data that is correct at the current moment in time. They are implemented according to the specifications in the ANSI SQL:2011 standard with a few extensions.
