SQLSummit.com is a knowledge portal for the database and information retrieval community, with SQL-related technology as an area of particular interest. SQL is the
most popular language querying databases.
It's a de facto standard that has the support of the major providers of database
management systems. SQL first became an international standard in 1986 but advancing the
SQL standard is an ongoing process. SQL is not a closed domain with a static
body of knowledge. The information technology (IT) community will
continue to see innovations in SQL, database technologies, and data access
techniques.
SQL servers have evolved to support object-relational capabilities, rich
types and multidimensional data sets. The choice of data
access interfaces has expanded to include embedded SQL, call-level
interfaces, object interfaces and APIs for services.
The W3C XML specification generated enthusiasm for
integrating SQL databases and document processing, marrying SQL and XML. SQL platforms have evolved to support tight integration with
XML, XML Schema and XQuery.
What about Java-Enabled Databases, XML-Enabled Databases and Web Services?
Object-relational technology and Java have become favored tools for creating
rich database environments. Native XML and XML-enabled databases have evolved to support
document processing and web services. SQL vendors are in a race to provide the
best platform for business analytics, XML, integrated messaging and web
services. The Server Watch tracks evolving server technologies.
