Abstract
An apparatus and method for managing historical data includes receiving a compiled application program and a declarative specification. An enhancer generates one or more representations of at least one data class defined in the application program based on at least one historical metatag and historical metadata associated therewith from the declarative specification. The enhancer also generates configuring instructions for configuring a database in accordance with the storage representation(s), an enhanced compiled application program including instructions for accessing data in the configured database, and a historical updater program for updating the data in the database based on the historical metadata. Once the database is configured in accordance with the configuring instructions and data is stored in accordance with the storage representation(s), the enhanced compiled application program is executed to access the database so as to retrieve historical data therefrom and the historical updater program is executed to update the data in the database based on the historical metadata.
