- 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.

- TSQL2 Language Design Committee members may be found in a separate
