And Im sure many people will wonder feature likeOracle FlashBack Looks like the maintainers have taken it off the web for whatever reason. Poking around in archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20190524052103/http://www.databtech.com/eng/index_timetravel.htm# the original page seemed to contain only a PDF with some code in it (rather than say a fully fledged extension); the PDF itself is archived here: https://github.com/yummyliu/papers/blob/master/TimeTravel_for_PostgreSQL.pdf FWIW, poking around in the links under https://www.postgresql.org/download/product-categories/ (which personally I've never seen before) there are a fair few projects and products linked where the link is no longer valid or points to a repository where the last commit was years ago.

I do this periodically (which used to be ~5yrs, now trying to do ~1yr :-) and we are approaching that period. The "painful" one tends to be professional services as those entries tend to fluctuate more than the ones in the software catalogue. However, I have noted that it has been noticed and will get to it soon. We have had discussions on trying to somewhat automate the process of checking, though we've not made any headway there, yet.
