Abstract
Dealing with temporal information has become a key technique in many database systems and information systems. We are in great need of a temporal database management system (TDBMS) to handle temporal data efficiently. This chapter gives abrief introduction to TDBMS and introduces two temporal data processing prototype systems—TimeDB and TempDB. The design principles, installation and user interfaces are presented. Several examples are given to demonstrate the basic functions of TDBMS.
