The domain of DBMS being English was meant for the implementation language of the DBMS, not any application of said DBMS. To the best of my knowledge, the first database management systems were created in English speaking countries and all research relating to them is English, too. Therefore the "vocabulary" is English and it seems natural for me to choose English as the implementation language for implementing a DBMS (or not so: I implement everything in English, because it enables others to read and understand it, so it is easier for me to share and for someone else to benefit from it [that's probably the main reason for any lingua franca])
PS: btw: I am not an English native, nor a resident of any English-speaking country.
- stonemetal 17y agoAll I am saying is Automotive engineering doesn't have a must speak German to work clause just because the first modern automobile was made in Germany. French mathematicians don't have to speak English to be taken seriously. Software development shouldn't have an English requirement. The only reason the vocabulary of CS is English is because speakers of other languages haven't taken ownership of their work and instead contribute it in English. To match your btw: I am an English native, and a resident of any English-speaking country. I find it kind of sad that people are trying to kill off their native tongue by not keeping it up to date.
