摘要

A temporal target table stored on a computer is scanned using the computer. The temporal target table has a ValidTime dimension and a value dimension. A qualifying-row having a value dimension having a value equal to a value of a value dimension in a row-to-be-inserted is found during the scanning. The row-to-be-inserted has a ValidTime dimension and the value dimension. The qualifying-row is processed. The row-to-be-inserted is inserted in the temporal target table. A ValidTime dimension of the inserted row-to-be-inserted is set to be as the union of the ValidTime dimension of the row-to-be-inserted and the ValidTime dimension of the qualifying-row.
