This directory contains the language specification for a temporal
extension to the SQL-92 language standard. This new language is
designated TSQL2.
The language specification present here is the final version of the
language.
Associated with the language specification is a collection of
commentaries which discuss design decisions, provide examples, and
consider how the language may be implemented. These commentaries were
originally proposals to the TSQL2 Language Design Committee. They now
serve a different purpose: to provide examples of the constructs,
motivate the many decisions made during the language design, and
compare TSQL2 with the many other language proposals that have been
made over the last fifteen years. It should be emphasized that these
commentaries are not part of the TSQL2 language specification per se,
but rather supplement and elaborate upon it. The language
specification proper is the final word on TSQL2.
Correspondence may be directed to the chair of the TSQL2 Language
Design Committee, Richard T.Snodgrass, Department of Computer
Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721,
<rts@cs.arizona.edu>. The affiliations and e-mail addresses of the
TSQL2 Language Design Committee members may be found in a separate
section at the end of the language specification.
