performed by the session.
E. The valid time columns employee_time_start and employee_time_end are automatically created.
Correct Answer: C,D,E
Explanation
A: To implement Temporal Validity(TV), 12c offers the option to have two date columns in that table
which is having TV enabled using the new clause Period For in the Create Table for the newly created
tables or in the Alter Table for the existing ones. The columns that are used can be defined while
creating the table itself and will be used in the Period For clause or you can skip having them in the
table's definition in the case of which, the Period For clause would be creating them internally.
E: ENABLE_AT_VALID_TIME Procedure
This procedure enables session level valid time flashback.
