@TweetAtAKK @niviksha @AlekhJindal @MoSarwat @adityagp @dorisjlee @me_dorx That's true, I'm yet to encounter queries performing pivot or unpivot operations in big data pipelines, including those that output unstructured data where the limitation of knowing schema in advance isn't an issue.

[Tarique Siddiqui @tariquesdd]

@TweetAtAKK @MoSarwat Surprised to see not many votes for option C so far. DataFrame for ad hoc exploration (over small datasets on a single machine), SQL for prepared/mission-critical/large-scale dedicated tasks. Would love to hear from @adityagp, @dorisjlee, and @AlekhJindal what they think ...

[Tarique Siddiqui @tariquesdd]

@sarahcat21 Agree with the sentiment, but despite the strong appeal and the long line of technical results in AQP, it has yet to find a substantial footprint/adoption in data products and services... this paper talks about the challenges: https://t.co/S0vlJyvUmW

@VLDBconf @MatteInter Congrats @MatteInter and team! 👏

[Microsoft Research @MSFTResearch]

What’s Next for Technology and Humanity? Join us October 18 - 20 for #MSFTResearchSummit, where we will convene to explore some of the most pressing questions facing our research community. Registration opens on September 13th: https://t.co/89yONFLI5D

[Tarique Siddiqui @tariquesdd]

@sarahcat21 Indeed, the sessions are less focused w/ fewer/broader themes. That said, a few things that stand out to me include more emphasis on database tuning, many new benchmarks, a lot more papers on graphs & fewer papers on data exploration/prep. QP on modern HW remains under spotlight

The CACM version of our SIGMOD'20 best paper award on visual querying systems is finally out! There's also a slick video (replete with stock footage of vis dashboards!) featuring @tariquesdd, who led this work: https://t.co/N1wLm1plL2

[Tarique Siddiqui @tariquesdd]

Most of this work was done during my Ph.D. in collaboration with @adityagp, @kkarahal, @dorisjlee, and many other students at UIUC.

[Tarique Siddiqui @tariquesdd]

Check out our work on expressive visual querying published as a Research Highlight paper in the July edition of CACM. We summarize our work on accelerating the search for patterns and trends in large datasets and discuss open problems for future research.

[Erik Bernhardsson @bernhardsson]

If you rank every major software innovation (OOP, containers, version control, deep learning, consensus algorithms, asymmetric encryption, whatever...) by the value it created, the relational database would come out at the top and it's not even close

@ShantanuNJIT Thanks, @ShantanuNJIT. @SIGMODConf was so much fun! cc: @TweetAtAKK, @matthiasboehm7, @ibrahim_sabek.

@sarahcat21 Depends on the user, but not everyone needs to learn/master SQL. Machines are getting better at auto-generating expressive/complex SQL queries...

[Tarique Siddiqui @tariquesdd]

@qizhen_penn Congratulations Qizhen, very well-deserved, and looking forward to seeing you soon for the post-doc.
