My Top Ten Fears about the DBMS Field
Michael R Stonebraker · 2018
In this paper, I present my top ten fears about the future of the DBMS field, with apologies to David Letterman. There are three ”big fears”, which I discuss first. Five additional fears are a result of the ”big three”. I then conclude with ”the big enchilada”, which is a pair of fears. In each case, I indicate what I think is the best way to deal with the current situation.
