SQL databases come up with algorithms you’d never have dreamed of (2017) [video]
So in 20 years we've gone from vilifying SQL statements in code, witch-hunted folks who did this and instead invented and propped up clunky ORM implementations, ignored sage advice on the famous "object-relational impedance mismatch" (which the author claims he doesn't "believe" exists - it's not a choice btw) and now, after 20 years of agent orange in the bloody Vietnam of Computer Science, we are presenting why SQL was better all along - showing off windowing functions as examples? This is irony that took 20 years to sink in.Am I understanding this guy's presentation correctly? (I left around the 20 min mark of the 50 min presentation).
