"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*! #bitemporal #sql

@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! xtdb.com/blog/v2beta6

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 ☺️ github.com/xtdb/xtdb/re...

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

My #clojure OSS updates for November and December 2025! See you next year! #babashka #cljKondo #squintcljs blog.michielborkent.nl/oss-updates-...

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

First day of Christmas break today - much needed, feels like it's been a long year's work 😅 Now chance to check out tech conference season - any that have recently released their talks?

🎁 Day 1️⃣7️⃣ of our Content Advent Calendar 🗓️🎄 Integrating #Rust with legacy #C++ APIs isn’t easy. JUXT #engineer Jan Sulmont dives into "API flattening" – a technique that wraps C++ #API callbacks into Rust objects, enabling zero-copy data access and safe integration ➡️ www.juxt.pro/blog/flatten...

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: xtdb.com/blog/the-mis...

Join @refset.bsky.social for an online tech talk this Wednesday (4pm GMT) on 'as-of reporting' in financial services - but really this applies to all organisations who care about the auditability of systems and figuring out how data changes over time. Registration is here: zoom.us/webinar/regi...
