From a developer perspective, I just don't understand the appeal of these cloud-only RDBMS like BigQuery, Databricks (SQL), Redshift, Snowflake, etc.
- They're expensive
- They're hard to test
- They're slow (latency)
Cloud is fine if it runs an RDBMS that can be run locally, sure. But cloud only?

Già IBM i é un SO decisamente avanzato.
Ha lo stack verticalmente integrato con RDBMS db2, middleware, security, hupervisor, supporta COBOL, RPG, Java, Node.js, Python ed ha un HAL che permette di non ricompilare le applicazioni quando viene aggiornato l’HW

The most likely explanation IMO is he doesn't know there's a difference between "SQL", the established query language, and "Microsoft SQL Server 2000", the most recent RDBMS he's touched

One of the great things about RDBMS: They do event sourcing, so you don't have to.

distributed data systems are their own circle of hell, but nothing is worse than RDBMS clustering (besides Oracle, but then you've got to deal with Oracle)

Open source in-process OLAP system launches rival to Iceberg and Delta Lake table format, and more
With a combined market value of around $150 billion, Snowflake and Databricks have divergent visions on how to get customers' analytics and machine learning tools to their data, which is often spread across different systems.…

I wish #SQLServer had the COMMENT ON command to add descriptions/comments on database objects. It's pretty common on other RDBMS platforms. So I wrote a wrapper proc for you all to emulate it, and to make the syntax easier.
Go forth and document those database objects:

Batching teensy changes in chunks creates massive performance boost, DuckDB Labs team claims
The team behind in-process OLAP database DuckDB has put forward a solution to the "small changes" problem that they say plagues lakehouse implementations of the kind based on technologies from Databricks, Snowflake, Google, and others.…

Why? More so than “why not?” — RDBMS are ideal for making SOTA distributed systems. If we can treat NN training as relations, could we make a fault tolerant way to distribute training on 1000+ GPUs?
What if a PyTorch backend output SQL to make the logical/physical layers truly independent?

Bingo. An Oracle DB certification isn't worth what it used to be, but if you understand the underlying database architecture principles, that knowledge will transfer to any RDBMS in the time it takes to skim the manual.

Granted, when it comes to government systems you're dealing with COBOL or mainframes running even older stuff - which I had to learn to get my certifications, working a decade-plus across structured/unstructured RDBMS.
But there's not a shot in fuck Musk can write COBOL either.
