What Goes Around Comes Around - The 60-Year Evolution of Database Models and SQL

via

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking lecture delivered by Carnegie Mellon University's Associate Professor Andy Pavlo that delves into the 60-year evolution of data modeling research and the enduring relevance of relational models (RM) and SQL in database management systems. Learn why attempts to replace traditional database paradigms with alternatives like vector databases, NoSQL, MapReduce, and object-oriented databases have historically fallen short, while SQL has successfully adapted and incorporated beneficial features from these competing approaches. Discover how the relational model and SQL remain the optimal choice for database applications regardless of scale, backed by decades of research and practical implementation. Gain insights from this 35-minute presentation, part of the prestigious Dutch Seminar on Data Systems Design series, delivered by a distinguished recipient of the Dijkstra Fellowship, an award named after the pioneering computer scientist Edsger W. Dijkstra.
