Hi,
We use temporal tables to audit all the data changes.
When you do an insert, there are two special datetime2 columns (in a temporal table) declared as
GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START/END
. These columns are mandatory.For some actions, like batch inserting, all columns need an explicit value. The columns mentioned above are automatically filled, and you cannot insert an explicit value into a
GENERATED ALWAYS
column.You have a couple of options when inserting a new row in a temporal table like omitting the two columns or specify the DEFAULT keyword in the values list for both columns.
I've created a test that shows what we are trying to do and the suggested fix.
Other suggestions are welcome!
