PostgreSQL Weekly NewsPostgreSQL Weekly NewsPosted Apr 28, 2003 2:56 UTC (Mon) by coriordan (guest, #7544)In reply to: PostgreSQL Weekly News by leandro Parent article: PostgreSQL Weekly News Why kill SQL? I have a good knowledge of SQL but it's never been my main job so I can see it's uses but I've never researched it's limitations. Actually, I can't picture a way of accessing data that wouldn't be similar to SQL. I agree that "Object Oriented Databases" is a load of marketing crap, but what's the third option? Thanks for any info

PostgreSQL Weekly News Posted Apr 28, 2003 10:03 UTC (Mon) by Peter (guest, #1127) [Link] I agree that "Object Oriented Databases" is a load of marketing crap, but what's the third option? Why, XML databases, of course. They're out there now, inventing an XML-based language for running database queries. XML is this revolutionary new concept called structured data, so when they finally come up with XQuery or whatever it's called, finally the world will have a structured query language and we can all stop using SQL. ...Wait. What does SQL stand for again?
PostgreSQL Weekly News Posted May 8, 2003 13:43 UTC (Thu) by aurelien (guest, #11071) [Link] >> Why kill SQL?Because it's such a piece of shit as far as mapping the relational algebra semantics, which are what make RDBMS useful (and not only L. Ellison's cash cow).
