Database Theory: Past and Future
Summary: Survey of database theory's evolution emphasizing relational dependency and hypergraph results and the development of concurrency control/distributed database theory. Argues that underemphasized areas—logic-and-databases and object-oriented/network/hierarchical models—deserve more attention and will become influential. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
