A computer receives a query for optimization. The query includes a SEQUENCED join between a temporal parent table and a temporal child table. The parent table has one or more rows. The child table has one or more rows. The parent table has a Primary Key ('PK') column having a value for each row. The parent table has a temporal dimension having a value for each row. The child table has a Foreign Key ('FK') column having a value for each row. The child table has a temporal dimension. The child table's temporal dimension has a value for each row. The computer determines that the query, the parent table, the child table, and the join satisfy a set of CURRENT temporal join elimination criteria. The computer determines that the query, the parent table, the child table, and the join satisfy a set of SEQUENCED temporal join elimination criteria. In response, the computer eliminates the join from the query to produce an optimized form of the query. In further response, the computer executes the optimized form of the query to produce a result. The result has one or more rows. The result has one or more projected columns. The projected columns have values. The result has a temporal dimension. The result's temporal dimension has a value. In further response, the computer stores the result in a memory.
