Presentation:
11 Pages that Changed the World
Mark Knutson, Hennepin Faculty Associates
In 1970, the widely implemented database products were based either on a network or an inverted tree structure. E. F. Codd, an IBM research mathematician, presented a paper to the Association of Computing Machinery proposing a database management system based on mathematical objects called relations.
I will briefly review the topical coverage of the paper, including the formal definition of a relation. I will also place the paper in historical context and review how IBM's response to it shaped the DBMS product landscape that we see today.
The discussion will be led by Mark Knutson who began his career programming IBM mainframes. Mr. Knutson is now programming team lead and database administrator at Hennepin Faculty Associates (The doctors of Hennepin County Medical Center), presiding over a modest, but fully up to date, SQL Server system.
Presentation:
NoSQL
Dan McCreary
This presentation will discuss the "NoSQL movement", a new set of data solutions that leverage non-relational data stores. These data stores are frequently designed to leverage thousands of commodity processors, are "schema free", use simple key-value stores or document stores and are often associated with web-scale "BigData" challenges. This presentation will cover the key business factors and technology issues driving this movement.
