Jared,
I am rarely critical of you and things that you bring to the list,
but in this case I must make an exception. What a flat out, biased,
pushy sales pitch this was. I left after about half a dozen slides &
most of the information was valid only is you took his lean on it. To
boot some of the information was down right false. And I was looking
forward to a good discussion on the real meat of the webminar, bother!!!

Subject: Webinar June 3 - Mike Stonebraker on SQL "Urban Myths"
I thought this might be of interest to folks on this list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please join us on Thursday June 3rd at 4PM Eastern time to hear database
R&D pioneer and VoltDB CTO, Mike Stonebraker, share his latest thoughts
on the state of SQL DBMS technology and practices.
Register to attend
<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?VoltDB/a28097f0e6/7971897b32/14394e98ea>
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
