Sure, most relational databases are pretty long in the teeth (and SQL is a huge warty mess), but there's something pretty timeless about mathematical logic and set theory. I think the relational model just needs a facelift, personally.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09318464878089050729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684183198890094283.post-74265401794064254002009-09-08T16:19:48.382-04:002009-09-08T16:19:48.382-04:00OLAP and RDF are not relational, so it's no su...OLAP and RDF are not relational, so it's no surprise that implementing them in an RDBMS is painful. It'd be like designing an OO application in a non-OO language like C. Is that C's fault? Does that mean C doesn't still do some things well?<br /><br />The debate about the death of RDBMS is based on a zero-sum game view of technology. This view is needless. Instead, let's use different tools where they give the most benefit.Bill Karwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004667086865377598noreply@blogger.com
