Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to maintaining a point in time (PIT) database. A database system updates a snapshot table included in the PIT database according to a snapshot table time-to-live (TTL) value of 3K/2. In some embodiments, the updated snapshot table is configured to provide accurate data for queries up to K years prior to points in time at which the queries are executed. The system may update a binlog table included in the PIT database according to a binlog table TTL value of K. The system may receive a request to access PIT data stored in the PIT database. Based on a timestamp specified in the request, the system may access the PIT database. The system transmits a set of PIT data that corresponds to the timestamp and includes accurate data for K years prior to the timestamp.
