I wish there was some API that abstracted the DB and all technical details and you could connect nodes to it that are specific databases with specific capabilities and it would delegate as necessary.
Databases in 2030: SQL DB finally succumbs to Graph DB as #1 Does anyone else feel like a caveman when modeling a many to many relationship in a normalized schema, and then querying via SQL? I’m surprised graph DBs aren’t more popular for this reason alone. Maybe it’s a far fetched dream, but perhaps a graph frontend can be slapped onto the Postgres backend.

Postgres's dominance is well deserved, of course. My only concerns with it, both are actively worked on, are bloat management (significant for update heavy workloads and programmers used to the MySQL model of rollback segments) and the scaling of concurrency (going over 500 connections). Bloat was taken over by Cybertec[1] after stalling for a bit and is funded (yay), while concurrency was also enhanced out of Micros…
Another concern, no temporal tables, don't businesses demand this feature?
I genuinely couldn't tell if the author was being sarcastic when he said Larry Ellison was down on his luck because he dropped from 5th richest to 10th richest (and the whole thing about pulling himself out of the gutters by clawing up to 5th richest again).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Couple of points: 1. Ottertune doesn't sell PostgreSQL services, they sell a database optimization service that happens to support PostgreSQL (and other databases like MySQL) 2. PostgreSQL is definitely gaining market shares and fast, see the db-engine graph [1], you can compare it to the oracle trend if you are not convinced [2] [1] https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_trend/system/PostgreSQL [2] https://db-engines.com…
Is this ranking by # of orgs using Postgres, or relative total company value using Postgres, or some even more ambiguous effectiveness metric? Answer: https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_definition
Not a word about Couchbase, which went IPO and is currently worth $1B
