By Anais Dotis-Georgio The world has become “sensor-fied.” Sensors on everything, including cars, factory machinery, turbine engines, and spacecraft, continuously collect data that developers leverage to optimize efficiency and power AI systems. So, it’s no surprise that time series—the type of data these sensors collect—is one of the fastest-growing categories of databases over the past five-plus years. However, relational databases remain, by far, the most-used type of databases. Vector databases have also seen a surge in usage thanks to the rise of generative AI and large language models (L...

By Li Shen In the good old days, databases had a relatively simple job: help with the monthly billing, deliver some reports, maybe answer some ad hoc queries. Databases were important, but they weren’t in constant demand. Today the picture is different. Databases are often tasked with powering business operations and hyperscale online services. The flow of transactions is incessant, and response times need to be near-instantaneous. In this new paradigm, businesses aren’t just informed by their database—they’re fundamentally built on it. Decisions are made, strategies are drafted, and services ...

By Charly Batista SQL, the Structured Query Language, remains one of the most widely used programming languages, coming in fourth in Stack Overflow’s research for 2023. Just over half (51.52%) of professional developers use SQL in their work, but only around a third (35.29%) of those learning to code use SQL. For a language that has remained in use for decades, SQL has a mixed reputation among developers. Why does SQL remain in use when so many other languages have come and gone? And why does SQL have a bright future still? [ Also on InfoWorld: How SQL can unify access to APIs ] Ubiquity and s...

By Anirban Ghoshal A non-binding proposal to acquire MariaDB, the provider of the relational database management system (RDBMS) of the same name—a fork of the open-source MySQL database, has sparked speculations about the company’s future and what the acquisition would mean for its enterprise customers. The proposal was for MariaDB PLC, the firm that provides database services and SaaS offerings built on the core open-source database that is managed by the MariaDB Foundation. Earlier this month, MariaDB PLC received a proposal of acquisition, to the tune of $37 million, from California-headqua...

By Anirban Ghoshal Oracle has updated its Autonomous Database offering in an effort to maintain its lead over competing cloud-based database services from rivals such as AWS, Google Cloud, IBM, and Snowflake. Oracle Autonomous Database is an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service. Oracle Autonomous Database, which is based on Oracle’s proprietary relational database management system (RDBMS), currently Oracle Database 23c, supports both transactional and analytical workloads. The key differentiator for Autonomous Database is that its underlying management system automates patching, upgrades...

By Matt Asay Developers of a certain age are used to beginning their application development journey by choosing an operating system. Younger developers, by contrast, might start by picking a cloud. One of the most respected voices in tech suggests a different starting point, one that focuses the attention on arguably the most important component of the application stack: the database. As luminary Kelsey Hightower writes, “Early on I made the mistake of only focusing on operating systems and ignored what I now consider the most important element of computing: data.” He’s not alone.

By Wes Kennedy Generative AI has had an immediate and enormous impact on software development. Software developers have embraced generative AI tools that help with coding, and they are working feverishly to build generative AI applications themselves. Databases can help—especially fast, scalable, multi-model databases like SingleStore. At the inaugural SingleStore Now conference, SingleStore announced several AI-focused innovations with developers in mind. These include SingleStore hybrid search, compute service, Notebooks, and the Elegance SDK. Given the impact that AI and LLMs are having on ...
