"Handling the element of time in SQL has been a challenge since it was created"
"current databases require you to manually insert time values that track when a data item was added, when it became valid, and when it became invalid"
Reflections by @Intellyx's Eric Newcomer [1/2]
🎁 XTDB 2.1 is now released 🎁 Thanks to the decoupled, shared storage architecture you can now dynamically ATTACH secondary databases with full read-write abilities and run queries across your Data Mesh with ease: https://t.co/m6YqwhkWAP
The theme of @CMUDB's ongoing Future Data Systems seminar series is "what should a database system look like in the future to handle more of our past so we never forget" - clearly I'm biased, but the answer has to be @xtdb_com ! Join us live on 24th November to learn more...
@nanovms Very cool! Unikernels are the future, no doubt - "unikernels pave the way for the development of novel abstractions that are not confined to the limitations of older APIs" https://t.co/V6cSCIfXPV
Monday Sept 22nd is the start of @CMUDB's new seminar series: Future Data Systems
@SamArchDB + @pateljm + I are hosting speakers building vanguard datalake / lakehouse systems.
Mondays @ 4:30pm ET via Zoom. Open to the public. Videos posted to YouTube: https://t.co/yv1XkGc5jw
What if there was a Clojure library like re-frame, but all state was server-side in an @xtdb_com temporal DB?
What if the debugging tools took full advantage of this? SQL subs, SQL reactions, SQL debugging, SQL logs (clj, cljs, js) - all immutable with '1st class' time...

We're running a series of XTDB v2 pre-launch events (informal chats on our Discord server) over the next few weeks. Later today we're speaking with @narayanarjun about as-of joins and database architecture - come join!
In the build up to an official XTDB v2 release we are running a series of informal chats on our Discord server - come join!
This Friday we're speaking with @narayanarjun who has battled many times with as-of chaos during his time at Materialize - see https://t.co/qhgf3w1tHX
"It would be desirable to arrange the events so that a look into our data base will show the latest surface of the event space. At the same time it should be possible to penetrate beyond this surface along the lifelines into the past."

Am honored to (virtually) sit down with @malcolmsparks & @refset on the @juxtpro podcast. Chatting about Clojure, SQL, Rabbit, end-user programming, visual tools, etc.

Join us LIVE for a 1-hour session on 19 Feb (tomorrow!) at 1500 UTC, where @refset will give a tour of the latest developments in v2 ahead of the General Availability launch, which is just a few weeks away 🚀
