[DB Seminar] JSON Relational Duality: Converging the worlds of Objects, Documents, and Relational

Date

Time

Location

GHC 8115

The "Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch" has been a multi-decade problem for developers, and past solutions have all had various tradeoffs that have compromised efficiency or consistency.  JSON Relational Duality is a breakthrough capability that combines the best aspects of the Document model and the Relational models without the drawbacks of either model. This session will provide an overview and deep dive into the inner workings of JSON Relational Duality. We will also discuss some of the benefits of being able to easily access data in terms of Application Objects, while retaining the full power of the Relational Model (which includes support for JSON documents as well) as the underlying storage model.
