ABSTRACT A method of selecting and representing time-varying data from a time-relational database management system by providing a unified view on a computer display screen. The data from a master record for a particular entity is displayed with a default video or character attribute, and is considered to be the current record. Accessing a history record for that entity causes the data for fields that differ from the corresponding fields of the current record to be overlaid on such current record fields but with a video or character attribute distinct from the default video or character attribute. The overlaid current record becomes a new current record for further overlays. Similarly, accessing a pending record causes the data forfields that differ from the corresponding fields of the current record to be overlaid on such current record fields but with a video or character attribute distinct from the default video or character attribute. A plurality of history or a plurality of pending records may be composited so that all of the changed fields for a set ofrecords from the end of a defined time period can be overlaid on a current record at one time. Accessing an error record caused the data for fields that differ from the corresponding fields of the current record (current as of the date of the error record) to be overlaid on such current record fields but with a video or character attribute distinct from the default video or character attributes. Fields in the error record that are in error (whether changed or not from the current record data) are overlaid on the current record fields but with a video or character attribute distinct from both the default video or character attribute and the video or character attribute used to indicate changed fields in the error record.
