Notes on the talk…
- If it’s not SQL it’s not a database. Watch, you’ll get to hear why… ha!
Then Jonathan covers the recent history (sort of recent, the last ~20ish years) of the industry and how we’ve gotten to this point in database technology.
- It takes 5+ years to build a database.
Also the tens of millions of dollars with that period of time. Both are needed, in droves, time and money.
