I'm no expert, but there definitely are similarities. You could design a temporal table where a change in a customer's email always generates a new row versus an update, or you could just be capturing a snapshot of time-series data at a point in time. A ledger database is much more like double-entry bookkeeping, or git, where you are capturing each change.
