> Relational database pioneer says technology is obsolete
The headline is grossly misleading; the article is only somewhat less
misleading. The actual blog entry:
- Does not claim that relational databases per se are obsolete;
- Claims that the idea of a "single one size fits all" implementation of the
physical storage strategy for a relational db is obsolete;
- Does not claim that column-oriented storage is better for all use cases;
- Does claim that column-oriented is vastly superior for data warehouses;
- Further claims that for all use cases there exists some specialized
storage strategy that will perform better than the standard row-oriented
strategy.
