Re: RPG Low-Code Development Platform - Thoughts?

Well, I would like to see some SQL code that is able to access 1.1 mio
random-values/second.

When I write "values" a value may be a row with field values, but it also
may be an object, a document or a binary video with or without embedded
subtitles.

There is another little problem with SQL because it assumes that relations
are made of data, but what if the relation is made by an external algoritm
that is feed by properties "as you go" and partly outside the data
structure?

SQL is not very suiable for cognitive data structures!

You can externalize I/O with one program but the question is
why would you want to do that?

SQL does everything you can do in file I/O times 1000. Waste of time.

Alan, you appear to be eyeballing low-code development platforms through an
SQL lens. But I don't see the connection, except perhaps to the degree that
low-code development platforms may use SQL under the covers.

Low-code development is more configuration. In the event that code is
needed, a developer might assign the name of a DB table, SQL view, or
logical file to a program variable. But the low-code platform would have
already built the way that those database objects would be accessed
dynamically at runtime, based on a design of an application template.
