Ok Oracle has had this feature for at least a decade, it’s called a “flashback query”. Obviously Aurora costs 10% of Oracle, but still, I thought this was going to be a huge feature-add considering the HN comment count.

That being said, I love AWS, am Pro-Certified, and work with it everyday.

I know Oracle is a giant mean bully company, but at least their arrogance was never of the “world-destabilizing” kind like Facebook.

EDIT: changed rollback query to flashback query (flashback query can be used both to view or to actually change the DB)




The free MariaDB is about to introduce system versioning: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/system-versioned-tables/


Can you link to any docs about it? All I can find is the ROLLBACK statement in a transaction.


Sorry rollback was wrong, the correct term was “flashback”.

Thanks!
