SQL for NoSQL Databases: Déjà Vu

Summary: Argues SQL can declaratively express document/NoSQL hierarchies via NF2 features (queries-in-projections, nest/unnest). Notes schema heterogeneity (missing fields, type variability, array joins) and proposes small SQL semantic extensions for NULL/type semantics. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
