A display system for displaying information relating to data stored on a database, the system comprising a processor for obtaining information relating to data stored on a database, the information defining times at which the data changed, and for generating display control signals to cause a display to generate an elongate display element extending along a time axis and which exhibits indicia defining the times of occurrence of changes in the data;
- wherein the processor causes the elongate display element to define a portion of a total time period represented by the data in the database and wherein the processor causes the elongate display element to include an indication, where appropriate, that no further changes in the data occur at times which are not displayed.
A method of displaying information relating to data stored on a database, the method comprising obtaining information relating to data stored on the database, the information defining times at which the data changed, and displaying on a display an elongate display element extending along a time axis and which exhibits indicia defining the times of occurrence of changes in the data;
- wherein the elongate display element defines a portion of a total time period represented by the data in the database and further comprising causing the elongate display element to include an indication, where appropriate, that no further changes in the data occur at times which are not displayed.
