All About SurrealQL

A recent SurrealDB Stream featured a discussion on SurrealQL, a SQL-like language, led by co-founder Tobie Morgan Hitchcock, data evangelist Alexander Fridriksson, and software engineer Micha de Vries. The session explored why SurrealQL was developed as a SQL-like language rather than adopting a custom language such as MongoQL or Cypher, delving into the history of SQL and the reasons for diverging from the ANSI SQL standard. The stream included demonstrations of both fundamental and advanced SurrealQL concepts, along with a Q&A segment addressing community inquiries about SurrealDB and SurrealQL. The event is part of the broader effort to engage users with tutorials and updates on database technology, emphasizing enterprise security compliance with certifications like SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ISO 27001.
