Blockchain_Database vs SQL

availablity: blockchain wins

but what is faster?

[Anonymous No.13514295]

You can have a blockchain implemented in a SQL based database.

Blockchain databases usually cost some "gas" fee per query, you should keep that in mind.

Blockchains pretty much are sql databases dude

>Usually
Mute point as it does not have to cost a fee, in theory someone can also charge you to use their database.

why would a blockchain win in availability vs a flexible cloud sql db ?

blockchain is for trust nothing else

The BFT consensus algorithm is what makes a blockchain. If you need BFT consensus benefits, go for blockchain. If not, go for something else.

SQL is order of magnitudes faster, but the question comes down to what type of application the database is being implemented in.

blockchain would be the ideal database for something like a county land registry or clerks office since it could have many different parties syncing and committing changes all at once, and things like title deeds post instantly, and you can only record 1 unique record per block.

or a settlement layer interbank transfer network, blockchain would be better.

but more day to day applications like the system a company uses to track and maintain customer accounts. blockchain would be too slow.

so do i waste 2 years of learning sql or becoming proficent in blockchain? How the fuck do i write code for blockchain or is it something contracts and etherium.

they're 2 completely separate things. SQL is a skill that will be in demand for decades, blockchain will only help that since the blockchain data will all get dumped to SQL databases. fundamentally blockchain coding is completely different than coding SQL, it's much more procedural and meant to follow a flow of tasks.

blockchain is like building a chair, or a lot of chairs, and SQL is taking those chairs and cataloging and selling them to customers so you can report earnings on how many chairs you sold this quarter, and what types of chairs to each customer.

SQL can get you a well paying job at any company for life, guaranteed. blockchain can get you a job at a startup for the time being, so the difference is how much risk you want in your life. I recommend learning SQL first, then blockchain. SQL can be learned in a few months but to master it you'll need about 4-6 years experience for a 100k+ job.

I want to learn sql, but i feel that blockchain is here gona be more in demand since sql is a semi still big niche. So where do i start learning about coding for blockchains

you're in for a bad time anon

this is why I recommended sql, because blockchain will probably be too difficult to someone who isn't already a proficient coder. but I would start by installing a geth test network to your computer/environment and trying to code up ETH contracts. coding blockchain stuff will probably require 2-3 languages if you do more than contracts from what I've seen but I don't really have an interest in learning it for the time being.

Just learn Alteryx. Also buy Alteryx stock.

who needs to learn sql when there's google+stackoverflow archives
