At this point, we should define what a temporal table is. 

Something like

> A Temporal Table is a parameterized view on an append-only table that 
> interprets the rows of the append-only table as the changelog of a table and 
> provides the version of that table at a specific point in time. Interpreting 
> the append-only table as a changelog requires the specification of a primary 
> key attribute and a timestamp attribute. The primary key determines which 
> rows are overwritten and the timestamp determines the time during which a row 
> is valid. In the above example `currency` would be a primary key for 
> `RatesHistory` table and `rowtime` would be the timestamp attribute.
>
> In Flink, a Temporal Table is represented by a Temporal Table Function.
