| ignorance and/or stupidity with it.

| How does this stack up in 2025/6?

| About time for the 6th Edition, eh? What would folks include in
| it?
|
| - Vector databases and hybrid search?
|
| - Object storage for all the things? Lake houses. Parquet and
| beyond.
|
| - Continuously materialized views? I'm not sure this one has made
| the splash but I think about Naiad (Materialize) and Noria
| (Readyset)
|
| - NewSQL went mostly mainstream (Spanner wasn't included in the
| last one, but there's been more here with things like
| CockroachDB, TiDB, etc)

| The object storage stuff is new, but it's mostly confirmed that

| everything above that on local SSD and compute delivers the
| best performance. Even Snowflake finally came out with
| "interactive" warehouses with this architecture.
|
| Parquet, Iceberg, and other open formats seem good, but they
| may hit a complexity wall. There's already some inconsistency
| between platforms, eg with delete vectors.
|
| Incremental view maintenance interests me as well, and I would
| like to see it more available on different platforms. It's
| ironic that people use dbt etc. to test every little edit of
| their manually coded delta pipelines, but don't look at IVM.

| Amazing: the website's index page has the book's index in it.

| sorts of marketing fluff, social confirmations etc and not the
| structure of the book itself.
