"If I had a requirement to monitor all the new systems that we've onboarded, for their first three days, to ensure they stay within agreed limits, could we do that with @xtdb.com?"

Time-oriented requirements are *everywhere*!

@xtdb.com beta6 is out today 🚀

Containing the sorts of changes that don't make for very exciting release-notes, but all the little things you'll appreciate when you're actually working with it day-to-day/deploying it into production.

No buzzwords this time I'm afraid!

Anyone I know use Google Cloud? looking to set up a small k8s cluster with c4-family machines for a proof-of-concept and I'm getting the full 'you need to schedule a call with a sales rep' rigmarole... What'm I missing?

AWS it's either just part of the default quotas or it's a simple automated form

Based on the SQL-spec, why do we need to use locks at all (in an MVCC DB), when we do REPEATABLE READ or READ COMMITTED? Why can't we just expose changes at commit with a future timestamp and read with a past timestamp?

Is this like a "vestigial organ" thing?

Always good to cut a release - today, @xtdb.com 2.0.0-beta5 🚀

Introducing "template-friendly" SQL, for everyone who's ever battled with commas and ANDs in generated queries, as well as cutting down on subqueries in common cases

Oh, and faster ingest, that always helps ☺️

Definitely implemented this by hand myself too many times in the past before I joined the @xtdb.com team 😅

Integrating #Rust with legacy #C++ APIs isn’t easy.

Blogged: "The Missing SQL Sub-queries"

SQL's had sub-queries since SQL:92 - but it's still a challenge to return properly nested data through SQL queries.

#XTDB has first-class support for nested values, as well as `NEST_ONE` and `NEST_MANY`, which fill this gap:
