### “可嵌入”是什么意思?

> 当你对Datalog有进一步了解以后你就会发现Datalog的 _规则_ 就像编程语言中的函数。规则的特点就是其可组合性将一个查询分解成多个渐进的规则可使它更加清晰、更易维护且也不会有效率上的损失。与此相对复杂的SQL查询语句通常表现为多层嵌套的“select-from-where”的形式可读性不高。
### 时光穿梭?
在数据库中,“时光穿梭”意味着跟踪数据随时间的变化,并允许针对在特定时间的数据快照执行查询以获得数据的历史视图。
> 在某种意义上,这使得你的数据库变得 _不可变_,因为没有数据会被真正删除。

> 在Cozo中不是所有数据都自动支持时间旅行某个表是否有这个能力需要你来决定。这是因为每一项额外的功能都有其代价而如果你不使用这个功能其代价你就不必承担。

> 这里有一个关于时光穿梭的[小故事](https://docs.cozodb.org/en/latest/releases/v0.4.html),可以帮助你了解其一些应用场景。
### “高性能、高并发”,有多高?

### Time travel?
Time travel in the database setting means
tracking changes to data over time
and allowing queries to be logically executed at a point in time
to get a historical view of the data.
