ORACLE A PIG Well ... Hmmmm .
I guess the question addresses a fundamental issue .
Is the Relational Model the best model from the view point of computation or I/O or Memory Usage ?
The answer is a big NO .
when Dr.Codd proposed the Relational Model in 1970 , he never stated
that this model would be efficient in terms of the above . But the issue
was of software Engineering . How easy is it to develop an
application ? How flexible and easy is it to modify in an inherently dynamic
environment ? I would say this is the issue .
Customers are willing to pay more money if one is able to get more information
out of the same data in a shorter span of time . This issue gets more important
in todays competitive world . The computing world is in a better shape today
because of the relational model .
God Bless Dr.Codd .
