In this hands-on tutorial, we explore what temporal tables are and how to use them in Azure SQL Database. Temporal tables provide built-in support for tracking full history of data changes, enabling point-in-time analysis and auditing without custom coding.

Key takeaway: Temporal tables automatically maintain a history table for every change, making it easy to query data as it existed at any point in time.

The video demonstrates creating a temporal table, inserting and updating records, and querying historical data using the FOR SYSTEM_TIME clause. It's part of a series on Azure SQL Database and Microsoft Fabric for data engineers.
