Timeout records – Feature request

For several years now, I’m yearning for a feature that I think that all SQL based databases that I know are missing, and throw it back to the program side.

The feature I wish to have is a way to set a specific record to be valid for only a known period of time, and when the time is up, I’ll be able to do something.

In this post I’ll try to create some sort of general specification for such feature, and I hope that there will be many comments on this that will benefit everyone, and I hopeful, that they will make the idea better.
