After a table has been converted to a system-versioned system-time table, most ALTER TABLE operations are not allowed. These tables are typically used for regulatory and compliance purposes, and modifications to the table structure could defeat those purposes. To restore a system-versioned system-time table to a nontemporal table involves dropping the system versioning, after which all normal ALTER TABLE operations are allowed.
