Actually, if one dances over to the Illustra pages listed above, and searches for "time series", then one will see a listing of several on-line articles referencing the topic. Here is one blurb I copied from those pages... FEATURES AND BENEFITS The first relational DBMS that understands time series data - fully supports time series as a data type. Extends the relational model to support repeating time-based data - financial, scientific, or other. Supports efficient high performance, storage, access, and modeling of time series data. Provides a rich set of functions for storing, manipulating, and analyzing time series information. Reduces application complexity, development and maintenance time, and cost - allows rapid adoption of improvements in analytical technologies. Time series modeling and methodology for one instrument can be used for other similar instruments through code reuse. -- Patrick_D_Logan@ccm.hf.intel.com "OO is a tool, not a religion, and not a philosophy." -Robert C.
