It was great to hear what the emerging next generation data warehousing vendors were planning to combat the exploding growth of data arising from the Internet. SQLstream (http://www.sqlstream.com) is positioned to perfectly complement all of these approaches by offloading their continuous ETL and handling their truly real-time queries with its streaming SQL engine that processes the data while still on the wire.

There is an elegant symmetry here – with SQLstream processing the data arriving and yet to arrive (querying the future) and the data warehouses processing the data that has arrived and been stored (querying the past).

Both are needed to effectively address all application needs.

Nice coverage. Very cool to have the sessions video-streaming live, as well. This was a great session with a lot of thought-leaders representing the change upon the database industry. Data volumes and access are simply growing too quickly for traditional approaches to keep pace.

New applications to automate the analytic process on these massive data sets is a key theme we see being pioneered by Internet companies. More on this idea here: http://www.asterdata.com/blog/index.php/2008/05/20/the-automated-feedback-loop/
