Immutable Database for Processing Retroactive and Historical Transactions Using Bitemporal Analysis

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed are directed to an immutable database in a data processing system for tracking a data state of the data processing system using multiple timelines or temporal sequences representing events occurring in the data processing system. The immutable database may maintain a current temporal sequence representing an existing data state of the data processing system and generate alternate temporal sequences representing an alternate data state of the data processing system. The alternate temporal sequence may be used to test retroactive events that are intended to replace or correct events that occurred in the current temporal sequence.
