Remarks

The AddHistoricalMarker method is used to add a historical marker to the workspace. Historical markers are used to represent specific moments in the database which reference a date and time. They can then be used as a mechanism to easily recognize specific database's moment or events.

For example, an organization might create historical markers to reflect quarters of a fiscal year. This will then allow users the ability to quickly change their historical versions to each moment using a historical marker.

Historical markers are case sensitive. All users have privileges to create historical markers. Historical marker names are limited to sixty-four characters. Adding a historical marker modifies the geodatabase's system tables and explicitly performs a database commit, and should therefore not be done during an edit session.
