    I've implemented a RDBMS that supports this [1]. It handles joins, views (which are automatically materialized and incrementally updated), etc. It's memory only, and it doesn't support exotic stuff like recursive CTEs, but it does exactly what you're asking for. We used it in production successfully for frequently-updated real time data at the company where I used to work.

    Notably, it uses persistent search trees such that each revision shares structure with the previous one, which makes diffing two closely-related revisions extremely efficient (just skip over any shared structure). Subscribers just receive a stream of diffs, with backpressure handled automatically by skipping over intermediate revisions. See [2] for a more detailed summary.

    It also exposes revisions as first-class objects, which allows you to tag and diff them. Specifically, you can run arbitrary queries on both revisions and diffs. See [3] for examples.

    It's no longer maintained, unfortunately. Someday I may revive it, perhaps adding support for spilling data that won't fit in memory to log-structured merge trees. I'd also rewrite it in a language like Rust, which will help flatten some of the more pointer-heavy data structures and reduce tail latencies. If anyone is interested in seeing that happen or helping out, let me know.

    I'm really surprised this still isn't supported in mainstream DBMSes. The MVCC model in PostgreSQL seems particularly well suited to it.
