A comment on A Short Story About SQL’s Biggest Rival. Parent comment
SQL’s shortcomings can be grouped into these categories:
- lack of proper orthogonality — SQL is hard to compose;
- lack of compactness — SQL is a large language;
- lack of consistency — SQL is inconsistent in syntax and semantics;
- poor system cohesion — SQL does not integrate well enough with application languages and protocols.
