valid_start
The name of the column that will store the beginning bound of the valid-time period.

VALIDTIME
Required to create valid-time tables in the database.
This clause allows SELECT statements on valid-time tables to use special temporal qualifiers (AS OF, BETWEEN ... AND, FROM TO, CONTAINED IN), which ANSI does not support on valid-time tables. For more information see Querying ANSI Valid-Time Tables.
[AS] VALIDTIME is a Teradata extension to ANSI.
