Cool, thanks for the summary! The user-defined indexes sound particularly intriguing.

The documentation page alludes to payroll, audit and decision support applications -- have you implemented one or more of those already? I have been compiling a list of known uses for bitemporality in the Crux docs which you are more than welcome to borrow from:

It is great to see all this new enthusiasm for temporal databases now that they are finally viable, decades after all the major research happened :)

Will have to sleep now... but yes, the ideas and the first prototype emerged already in I think 2006 from Marc Kramis (back then it internally was named Idefix, then Treetank... but I think Treetank is pretty strange ;-))
