Hi,
We need to design a system, that keeps past/present/future data based on a time axis.
ie. The system needs to know what price a product will be at times in future, was in time in past, and is currently.
see this link for further details.

I want to know if anyone has attempted to meet this type of requirement in firebird?
The simple way would be to add a TIMESTAMP to the primary key. I don't like this as it would make access of the data inordinately difficult and slow.
Kind Regards,
Robert
