Talk:SAND CDBMS

Rationale

The reason I propose this article is to include reference to what is/was one of the earliest developments of column based database management systems and is still around today in its latest name of SAND CDBMS. As a consulting Database and Systems engineer I have used many database products and find many references to these in Wikipedia, e.g. IBM DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase IQ, MySql, Teradata, System 38, DBase II (I am dating myself with the last one!) to mention a few. The (co?)inventor of the forerunner of this product, Edward L. Glaser, unfortunately created it long before the WWW and doubly unfortunately little of his history and virtually none of this DBMS is available online. After reading the limited material I could find on Edward and having seen the product in its latest name (previously called Nucleus in the late 1990's, then renamed DNA/Analytics in the early 2000's) the latter name as used at a client, I honestly believe this warrants inclusion if only from an intellectual perspective of being a pioneer of bit-mapped data and tokenization that is only now gaining traction in the database industry.

@StephanieGinaWhite: As unfortunate as it may be, Wikipedia's verifiability policy and notability guideline require claims to be backed up by reliable sources. If you say such sources don't exist, then this article doesn't qualify for inclusion. Sources such as patents or official whitepapers, linked currently in the article, aren't considered reliable. -- intgr [talk] 13:41, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
