  • hbb'Gard' - Genuine Ada Relational Database, semi-proposal

    SQL is a popular dead-end. People chose databases for reliability, ultimately. The following URL
    leads you to a discussion about what is required for a genuinely relational database:
    #Architecture
    Why not translate this genuine relational database into Ada and throw out SQL?
    The basic structure of a parser exists in Java. It shouldn't be that difficult to design and
    impelment at least an equivalent to the teaching model discussed at the above URL. Beyond that, Ada
    ought to give the opportunity to engineer it to a rock-solid high performance engine.
    It could be packaged with AS (at an early stage of development, I know, but still).
    The advantages seem to me to be considerable.

    Why do you want to throw out SQL? What's wrong with it?

    Why do you want to throw out SQL? What's wrong with it?

    Darwen and Date make a fairly comprehensive set of arguments to that
    end

    Basically, it's that SQL has plenty of places where it is either
    non-relational or anti-relational.

    The "Third Manifesto" suggests an alternative; they start a
    description of something called "Tutorial D," a more comprehensively
    relational language than SQL. It's there for "tutorial" purposes;
    people are looking at more "industrialized" notions, terming it
    "Industrial D."
