He will discuss and compare a variety of DBMS performance and scalability
options such as distributed DBMS, distributed caching, key-value stores,
in-memory DBMS and others.
Specifically, he will address the following "Urban Myths" about SQL:
Myth #1: SQL is too slow, so use a lower level interface
Myth #2: I don’t need a higher level interface, so why bother with SQL?
Myth #3: Suppose I like a Key-Value store interface, then SQL is a
non-starter
Myth #4: SQL systems don’t scale
Myth #5: There are no open source, scalable SQL engines
Myth #6: ACID is too slow, so avoid using it
Myth #7: in CAP the theorem, choose AP over CA
