This meetup's topic is "Renormalize: The Sequel to SQL" will feature Ori H. from Akiban. (see below for free parking details)
Relational databases and NoSQL document stores are generally perceived to be at opposing extremes, with schemas and SQL receiving much of the blame for relational database scalability challenges. Akiban has taken a different approach with Akiban Server, a database which brings document stores and relational databases together. Developers get powerful document access and schema evolution capabilities alongside surprisingly powerful SQL. In this presentation Ori will cover the architecture and operational ideas that underlie the Akiban Server, which is available for download on Akiban's website.
