@chrisg@fosstodon.org I was in the room at a JavaOne conference when Gavin King foaming spittle from his mouth said "SQL is for idiots. Hibernate will make SQL obsolete". I'm hoping he held his breath for that to happen.
SQL is not an all-emcompassing solution and has its flaws, which is why there are so many attempts to replace it. But it is disingenuous to say "SQL is going nowhere because it doesn't work for complex cases". The opposite is true. SQL does work for the most complex data model traversals

@chrisg@fosstodon.org Look at Hive. It has query hints to tell the optimizer how to transport data closer to where it is being processed. This is ala Oracle hints.
