Rethinking the RDBMS

Fascinating paper about specialised query engines that do things differently from a traditional RDBMS and how they can provide dramatic performance improvements.

Really made me think. Hard to get your head around, initially, but makes a lot of sense. Seems like with data-warehousing and such there's an implicit recognition that RDBMSes aren't always capable of addressing all storage needs. In that particular case, it seems like column stores instead of row stores have some dramatic advantages. 

Food for thought...
