Rich Hickey on Datomic: Datalog, Databases, Persistent Data Structures
I work in a hospital and alot of the things he talks about would be quite cool.Immutability: we have one big as table with tons of stuff in it (this is not the db design you learned in school) and and even bigger table of all the changes made. The way this is handeld in datomic would be optimal.Querys: Query all the data based on a time stamp would be really useful. Querys where I could combine the DB data with some other data I got from other applications/databases, heap or somewhere else.
