Today is my 65th birthday. Did you know that your two most vulnerable years are before your first birthday and the first year you retire? So, I have no plan to retire, so I might live forever.

I am so fortunate to have been chasing a dream for the last 20 years to do what many believe is impossible: to unite all databases into one virtual data warehouse that expands across the entire corporation.

People still can’t believe writing a single query that joins data across two separate database systems is possible. Yet, last year, I proved it was possible to join 20 tables across 20 systems in a single query.

The only way forward for you and your company is to adopt a strategy to join and access data no matter where it resides.

Did you know that the most popular database on planet Earth is Excel? People then graduate using Microsoft Access, Postgres, and MySQL. Eventually, people begin to work with OLTP systems like SQL Server, DB2, and Oracle. Many experienced people work with traditional massively parallel systems like Teradata, Netezza, SAP HANA, and Greenplum. Finally, there are opportunities for cloud platforms like Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Azure Synapse, Vertica, Yellowbrick, and Databricks.

Covid is over, the economy is returning, AI is changing how we use data, and this is the time to upgrade your tools and game.

Everyone should be able to point-and-click and join Excel or Microsoft Access with any database. Business users should be able to migrate data automatically between any two databases seamlessly. Everyone should be able to join data in any combination of systems and let the tool automate everything. The SQL should be automatically written no matter what database you are using.

People tell me that I am the greatest data scientist to have ever lived because I have written over 90 books on all databases and taught over 1,000 database and SQL classes around the world, but that was only the pre-cursor to my goal, which was to build the greatest query tool the world has ever seen.
