> Apparently they are working on a SQL port... That's fascinating to hear. One of the key factors I heard that the EHR/EMR industry converged upon M is because patient records are sparse data efficiently represented in a key-value database, but which mapped inefficiently to SQL. The example given to me was a patient schema represented in SQL could literally have tens of thousands of columns/fields, of which only several hundred were used for each specific patient. Was the explanation given to me incorrect, or has the situation in the industry changed?
