The article also mentions things that have been present in other databases for a while (Compiled rather than interpreted SQL has been an option in Oracle databases since 2003 and Oracle)
Both Oracle and SAP and I imagine a number of other vendors have had in-memory components available for a while an example of a good implementation given by Oracle on a developer day that I went to was an airline that wanted to separate their booking function from their checkin/flight verification function. what they did was load the next 48hrs of flight data into memory and pointed their check in process to that, allowing the majority of people who are just searching to see if their flight is on time to have very fast read access that would not impact on people booking flights for more than 48hrs in the future.
Every tool needs to be evaluated to identify how it can be used to solve a particular problem. there is no "fastest database", there is only "fastest database for this purpose under these circumstances".
disclaimer: I don't want to start an Oracle Vs other RDBMS tool flame war, just I am an Oracle developer so that's what I know best.
If the Author does this like you suggest, I would buy a copy of his book just to congratulate him on principle.
I can only speak for myself so here's my anecdote:
I prefer physical books over electronic copies however, before I buy a book I always read a portion from somewhere near the beginning to get an idea of whether the authors style appeals to me. If I can't find a physical copy and amazon's preview doesn't apply to that book I would happily and without guilt download a pirated copy, and if the writing style appealed to me, I would then purchase a physical copy.
I've also lost count of the number of albums that I've ended up buying after stumbling across an artist I haven't yet heard of on youtube.
so stick a btree index on the transaction timestamp column? and then sit back and let the database engine do what it is good at.
SQL (at least that executed against an oracle database) is actually very close to the metal so to speak.
SQL is not so much a language as a standard, that is supported and extended by each database vendor. what do you mean by not terribly expressive? It is an extremely explicit way of defining and manipulating sets of data.
I Use Oracle and I can say that it is an extremely powerful way of manipulating sets of data. when a statement is executed on an Oracle database, the optimiser chooses how the JOIN will work with the information it has at statement execution, whether that be a merge join or a hash join or something else, so I don't know what you mean by your first sentance.
Generally people who hate on SQL are OO programmers who are unable to wrap their heads around relational database set processing.
Further, saying "We don't program in Cobol anymore, so why the hell are we still using SQL?"
is perhaps equivalent to saying "We don't run around bashing eachother with swords and shields anymore, why the hell are we still planting food in the ground?"
150 years ago your post may have gone something like:
"Why are these heavier-than-air 'Air planes' flying for such short times? Are these propellers so early in development that they really can't get them to be stable and safe for more than 12 seconds? Sounds a lot like the automobile: it works but it's not yet useful."
As much as I agree with you, you don't seem to understand that the group that registered the domain committed fraud.
also in Aus, to have a.com.au domain, you need to either have a registered business/trading name related to the domain, or have the domain be your actual name. as far as I can tell, neither of these were the case and so it is fraud.
Eve online - you can fly any type of ship you want, you can put different modules on certain types of ships to make them go from tank to heavy dps or compromise between the two - or even repair other ships.
then there are specialised utility ships, extremely good at one particular thing if need be.

it is similar in function to OllyDbg, although quite superior in it's analysis of the file due to its in-built libraries etc. The graphical representation of the program flow is my favorite part - it saves a huge amount of time when reversing (for me anyway).

Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to determine the United States
measurement challenge once and for all.
In the blue corner we have our current US champion for many years,
weighing in at 220.4623 pounds, our hero: Igor Imperial.
In the red corner we have, weighing in at 100kg all the way from
France, and currently storming the world wherever he goes, our
challenger: Mean Mr Metric.
It will be a great fight today and one that may change the course of
history. Can Mean Mr Metric defeat Igor Imperial and change US life
forever, or will Igor outwit the classy opponent and maintain his place
in history. We are about to find out.
Gentlemen, I want a clean fight. Shake hands and come out fighting on
the bell.
Round 1: "DONG"
They both approach each other and meet in the middle of the ring.
Metric has trained well and opens with the first punch:
How many feet in a mile?
Imperial answers after a moments hesitation with:
5280
"Good exchange there Bob, hasn't worried either of them."
"No Bill, it's still neck and neck, although Imperial took a fraction
of a second to divert that question."
Imperial decides to attack with a similar strategy:
How many metres in a kilometre?
Instantly, Metric flashes back with:
1000
"Wasn't that a great counter by Metric eh Bob - so quick. He's looking
good tonight"
"Sure is Bill"
Imperial goes on the attack again with a curly one:
How much does a litre of water weigh?
Metric comes back quickly with:
1 kilogram
"Great offense from Imperial there Bob. Combining both measurement of
mass and volume - well thought out."
"Sure thing Bill, but I think he may have left himself a bit vulnerable
here. If I can guess, Metric should follow up with..."
How much does a pint of water weigh?
Imperial reels back with such a tough one. He hesitates.
"Thought he'd do that Bill, he's looking shaky. I wonder how he's
trained for this?"
Suddenly, Imperial's eyes light up and he comes back with:
1.0431758 pounds
"Well Bob, our champ got out of that one but it was a bit messy eh?"
"It was Bill. I think he was lucky there. Metric should come back with
a tough one here if he's got it in him."
As Metric prepares for an offense, the champ Imperial slips in a sneaky
one:
If 1mm of rain falls on 1 square metre of roof, how much water
is collected?
"What a shot Bob! That'll hurt him."
Metric defends without a flinch:
1 litre
"No Bill, Metric has trained too well and has got too much ability.
That reply was instananeous. You know, I think he should follow the
same strategy as before and follow up with..."
If 1 point of rain falls on 1 square foot of roof, how much water is
collected?
"Imperial is down!"
1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
7.97922 fl oz
"What an answer! Our boy's still got guts!"
"DONG"
End of Round 1.

the next round."

I'm not sure about other countries, but in Australia (specifically in QLD where I am) the government is finding it hard to justify paying people to work in schools who are NOT teachers. sure, we have teacher aides, but if you're a halfway competant IT person you'll not settle for the poor pay and part time work.
The problem is justification of funding. If you want your child to have access to individual computers from a young age, the only option at the moment is private schools, who seem to recognise that to provide the best education, they have to pay the best people and maintain the associated support structure.
rubbish it leave no trace...
there's scratches on the lock surface from the bump key whacking into it and there's scratches on the pins themselves all in proportion to how many times you have to whack the key of course, but a professional forensic investigator should be able to see the evidence without any problem.
