[Philly Lambda] RSVP - August 24th - "The Relational Model, not SQL" by Michael Glaesemann

[Aaron Feng <aaron.feng@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I don't have the location 100% ironed out yet, but most likely it will
be at Drexel again.
As usual, we will start the meeting at 6:30PM, but the door will be
opened at 6PM.

I currently don't have a food sponsor.  If your company would like to
sponsor it, please
let me know.

RSVP if you plan to come:

Below is the abstract:

Most people know relational databases through the lens of SQL as it's by far the
most popular language used to access relational databases. However, SQL is far
from perfect tool for expressing fully all of the concepts of the Relational
Model, the mathematical theory that provides the foundation for working with
relational databases.

Take a tour of the Relational Model, learn to see SQL in a new perspective,
hear about alternatives to SQL, and even discuss what might make a
better system!
