New databases.

Is probably the most "under the radar" of all. Is interesting how little attention you get from people about this stuff (when talking about implementation or internals).

Is like, literally, only make a splash AFTER at-minimun you have something competitive with a major stablished product.

But you get more "views" talking about compilers than talking about DBs!

(except when talking about compilers that use the relational model. I probably should rebrand https://tablam.org as a "lisp"! -no accurate, but whatever-)

* I also pithy anyone doing a new OS, now that is crickets!



And improvement for existing ones like query optimizers and schedulers for SQL.


Are you talking about vector databases?


Databases in general (that is why I don't say RDBMS or NoSQL...)


surrealdb is amazing.


Do you have any insight into comparing SurrealDB (https://surrealdb.com/docs/introduction/start) to DuckDB (https://shell.duckdb.org/)? I haven't done that comparison yet, I might now based on your recommendation. I saw DuckDB at Data Day Texas 2023 and their demo was intriguing. That's even for our use case which was not very SQL-y.
