Thank you for the pointer to DB fiddle!

It's been down for a week. Does anyone know what happened?

Bridgewater is famous for valuing a culture of almost brutal honesty and fierce internecine warring over ideas. It argues this combination is vital to reaching the deep understandi…

This seems so much more clear to read, with less typing.

Do you do that by memory? Or do you have some text indexing tool that helps?

This is Dan Abadi we're talking about. More importantly, the points he makes are important, clear and true. If that causes heartburn for Vendor A and pride for Vendor B, that's sec…

Does anyone remember Larry Harris and "Natural" back in the 1980s?

The only problem with singular nouns for table names is that they occasionally conflict with SQL keywords. The canonical example of this is from the TPC-H benchmark which has table…

So true. And so deliciously snarky. Confession: I'm guilty of far greater stupidity. I've asked "Ship of Theseus" questions when interviewing candidates for object database compani…

Don't C++ 20 modules solve this problem?

Do you have any insight into the reason for the unequal access? Is it that poorer or uninsured patients cannot afford non-emergency healthcare? Is it that they are too far away? Is…

Agree you need all of these things and more... but if you could do this above the microservice level, as a piece of K8S or whatever the MSA, then you might have an advance over RDB…

If you never need to coordinate two or more microservices, then sure. But that means you're dealing with a monolith. In the original article, you could combine Orders and Users int…

There's a bit of an emperor's clothes problem with microservices. If microservices are never combined together, they are essentially monoliths under a cooler name. But as soon as y…

Is there any protection to be had by a corporate shell game? Suppose I put my technology assets in one corporation, my revenue and monetary assets in a 2nd corporation, and my cust…

Not getting this at all! How does it help find competitive websites?

So I just had an experience of being forced into "vertical slice" development (not quite the same as architecture, but still). This seemed initially as crazy as erecting a multi-st…

Glad to hear about the FDWs ... but wouldn't foreign keys be your friend here? What else would you need, really, to layer this on an existing DB?

Well ... I kinda like the query syntax's ability to traverse relationships, nest objects/sub-headings, and apply filters at the level of projected expressions! This has been done b…

404?

Beautiful. Data Flow + Functional. Love the idea and can't wait to try it out!

Heck of a title. Wish the article was better at explaining what was actually done.

The article argues that conservative views are correlated with fear/concern over physical safety, and that increasing the feeling of physical safety moves conservative views toward…

+1 for the idea of tuning query optimization based on ML. I don't know of any DBMSs that take this advice, and that's remarkable in this day and age.

The prescription of changing sequential_page_cost to equal random_page_cost is certainly reasonable for SSD, but I wonder if the underlying issues aren't somewhat deeper and more i…
