HindSight 2005 is a database history add-on for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

HindSight 2005 is a database history add-on for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

In depth

A closer look at HindSight 2005

HindSight 2005 can present a historical view for any standard SQL statement. For example, the following SQL statement produces a list of employees in the Northwind database: SELECT * FROM [Northwind]..[Employees] Using HindSight 2005, a similar statement produces a list of employees at an exact point in time: SELECT * FROM [~Northwind]..[~Employees] ('09/12/2003 10:49:00 AM') HindSight 2005 snapshots are implemented with user-defined inline functions. So you can open Query Analyzer and view the results of a snapshot directly, create a view combining several snapshots, or retrieve a snapshot via ODBC or ADO.NET. With HindSight 2005, you don't need an external tool to get to your historical data. Best of all, HindSight 2005 supports your most complex SQL statements. Snapshots can provide a historical view of complex joins, aggregations, and nested subqueries. You can even join two snapshots from different points in time to track changes to your data.
