Effective Dating

• Effective dating allows users to maintain a
  chronological record of historical, current and
  future data.
• When entering effective dated information current
  information is not overwritten.
• There are three categories of effective-dated
  records
• Future - All rows that have an effective date
  greater than the system date.
• Current - The row with the effective date closest
  to, but not greater than the system date. It is
  this row of data that the system recognizes as
  the current active row.
• History - All rows with an effective date less
  than the effective date on the current row.
• When the date of a future row arrives, it becomes
  the current row. What was the current row then
  becomes history.
