Did someone come up with a generalized rule about putting SQL on top of every possible system that contains queryable information? Here is first-pass:
>eventually every system that contains information that can be queried will have a sql interface
- koolba 9y agoThat's just a lemma in the wider theorem that every sufficiently complicated application evolves to have ad-hoc SQL reports exported to Excel.
- Koshkin 9y agoSQL is the standard language for querying relational data, so why not.
- Retra 9y agoIt's not a great standard. Practically keywords the whole English language...
- Koshkin 9y agoYes, it is a "Structured-English Query Language", formerly abbreviated as SEQUEL.
- devnonymous 9y agoConsidering its longevity as compared with other 'standards' that came around 40 years ago, I'd say it is in fact, a great standard.
- atemerev 9y agoYes, it is called "Spark driver" these days.
