Comment Comment by michelpp > I know nothing about J and JSoftware, but this reads like an Aprils fools joke. Is it?To me it reads as being colored by a very specific tool bias. For example:>> The key difference between Jd and most other database systems is that Jd comes with a fully integrated and mature programming language.Most major database systems come with a fully integrated and mature programming language.>> Row orientation works for small amounts of data.It works for a different data access pattern. Row vs column is a tradeoff spectrum. Data size is just one dimension of the analysis.>> Row oriented is slavishly tied to the design ideas of filing cabinets and manila folders. Column oriented embraces computers.Pretty hyperbolic. parent michelpp 4 years ago
To me it reads as being colored by a very specific tool bias. For example:
>> The key difference between Jd and most other database systems is that Jd comes with a fully integrated and mature programming language.
Most major database systems come with a fully integrated and mature programming language.
>> Row orientation works for small amounts of data.
It works for a different data access pattern. Row vs column is a tradeoff spectrum. Data size is just one dimension of the analysis.
>> Row oriented is slavishly tied to the design ideas of filing cabinets and manila folders. Column oriented embraces computers.
Pretty hyperbolic.
