Next meetup (8th Sep)

[Makoto]

Hello.

Thank you for attending today's meetup.

Since both Neil and I are away for next date (25th Aug) and seems most
people won't be available on the date, we are thinking about taking a
break and have next meetup on 8th Sep.

The topic is "The beginning and End of the SQL era".

Here are the 2 suggested papers.

If you know any other good papers, please post here.

Cheers

Makoto

Is the next meeting cancelled? Or is it just hosted not is Skillsmatter?

Not sure anyone set up the meeting at skillsmatter website yet - maybe as they are all on holiday!

Found another interesting paper to read about ACID http://db.cs.yale.edu/determinism-vldb10.pdf
