Working on @xtdb_com #ToolsForThought obsessive, 4GL maximalist (SQL is alright), always happy to chat :)

I'm giving an online tech talk with @FINOSFoundation this Wednesday (4pm GMT) on 'as-of reporting' in financial services - but really this applies to all organisations who care about the auditability of systems. XTDB helps you to quickly figure out how data has changed and why /1

Rather coincidentally I'll be just across town talking about "bitemporal" SQL:2011 in @xtdb_com not even 2 hours after your talk finishes 😆 events.linuxfoundation.org/o…

Arrow is playing a long game. Creating simple things is hard work, but ultimately worth the effort (although ideally you can capture some of the value along the way!). The long-term benefits of simplicity in software development are notoriously underrated: infoq.com/presentations/Simp…

This one was a really enjoyable chat - jOOQ is an impressive project that has been delivering typesafe & SQL-centric database goodness for far longer than most developers have cared about such things.
Good ideas stand the tests of time 🏆

I'm hoping to figure out whether Option 3 is worth investigating further in the near future - advice & introductions would be welcome 🙏

Ultimately though I suspect the 'best' protocol will be very data & situation dependent. It feels like all the same set of trade-offs you face when thinking about optimal LSM-trees and compression more generally

"broadcast" is probably a good keyword to look for as an entry point into the literature. And viewing the problem through the lens of read-only transactions & caching may help, e.g. researchgate.net/publication…

Best: Declarative programming at scale. "SQL is the only ever successful, mainstream, and general purpose 4GL." - @lukaseder
Worst: Accidental complexity in the language design has created a huge barrier to entry for new RDBMS implementations, which has stifled innovation

Surely some database team somewhere is playing with aws.amazon.com/hpc/efa/ already...

Although even this diagram doesn't cover everything - @jarohen was explaining to me last week how SELECT can take effect both before _and_ after ORDER BY

By a couple of years it seems, yep. And LISP was already 14 by 1974. What an era it must have been to experience!

Just in case anyone was in doubt about the stability argument, Q1 (1974) still works great: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/8…

(my guesses for @frankmcsherry 🤞)
Best: A stable, established language that is also conveniently amenable for composing interactive dataflows
Worst: WITH RECURSIVE materialize.com/blog/recursi…
