It's taking a long time to come out, but the probabilistic approach I think is the most interesting is BayesDB: http://probcomp.csail.mit.edu/bayesdb/ http://probcomp.csail.mit.edu/bayesdb/ Almost always what I want is closer to SQL-like questions that I later want to manipulate with languages like Ruby or Python, rather than having to load all the data into a giant array and then have to use probabilistic programming on the whole damn thing.
