My first serious job in the high-tech business was in Informics Israel (a mythical database which was later purchased by IBM), and since then I’ve run into databases on every web project I’ve been involved with.
It seems that no matter which product I’m using, I’ll always think in SQL, and it will always boil down to CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete). Even if ROR no longer requires connecting to the database using ODBC, and you no longer have to write SELECT to recieve an answer from the table.
In the upcoming convention, we will dedicate plenty of lectures to relational databases, and try and host a few practical workshops that will expand on the new features of the key players. We will also try to touch on the new players in the database play ground: from columnary databases, through NoSQL and all the way to the building blocks of the semantic web.
If you’re interested in registering to the convention, which is geared towards DBA and developers, you can do so at this link. I’d also love to hear any and all ideas for lectures you will be interested in hearing or presenting at the conference.
