In this work we present the implementation of a Fuzzy Valid Time Support Module on top of a Fuzzy Object-Relational Database System, based on a model to deal with imprecision in valid-time databases. The integration of these modules allows to perform queries that combines fuzzy valid time constraints with fuzzy predicates. Both modules can be deployed in Oracle Relational Database Management System 10.2 and higher. The module implements the mechanisms that overload the SQL sentences: Insert, Update, Delete and Select to allow fuzzy temporal handling. The implementation described supports the crisp valid time model as a particular case of its fuzzy valid time support provided.
