@temporal

Temporal namespace plugin -- generates SCD Type 2 temporal tables. Adds valid_from/valid_to columns to the table, creates a current-rows view, and generates triggers for versioned row management: - INSERT: set valid_from=NOW(), valid_to=NULL - UPDATE: copy OLD row with valid_to=NOW(), set NEW.valid_from=NOW() - DELETE: archive the row (insert copy with valid_to=NOW()), then allow the delete to proceed Postgres: PL/pgSQL BEFORE trigger functions. MySQL: Limited support — DDL + view + INSERT trigger only (self-referential triggers not supported).
