Database Systems and Data Science

Databases power data-hungry applications across the globe. We have come a long way from the first databases in the 1960s, and the first relational SQL database in 1979. Database technology has evolved to include many types of databases (SQL, NoSQL, streaming, graph, distributed, etc.) according to the diverse needs of modern software. Databases nowadays do more than just efficiently store and retrieve information. They have been extended to do data science and statistical computation, and their power is increasing continuously. This is the reason why we now need database experts with years of experience to get the most out of our database systems, as well as settle legal disputes surrounding database intellectual property.
