Let’s take a journey into the past, present and future of querying data. We will talk about how SQL became so popular and how it survived for so long . We will talk about the LLM revolution, the challenges of leveraging AI to transition from SQL to NLQ and the technologies that might get us closer there specified as RAG, Semantic Layers and cognition Graphs. Lastly we will peek into the crystal ball and effort to figure out what the future might bring and how it might change the way we see modern data platforms.
