According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what's going on.

Seemingly every interaction this man has with a normal person is him finding newer and more interesting ways of declaring himself an absolute moron.

How the fuck is he the de facto president of the USA?

Also that's not how deduplication works.

He means/thinks that SSN is not unique (which is not a problem, just different design).

Of course he's wrong about lots of stuff, just the nerd in me could not not explain it.

Where did this come from? Is this a precursor to pushing some blockchain shit or something?

I've worked on projects for the government as a contractor. There is SQL; SQL as far as the eye can see. I'm sure the NSA has some novel solutions to crunching shittons of big data, but day to day, at least in my experience, it is a lot of relational CRUD and reporting queries.

For the curious, it does clearly exist:

This sounds just like a former manager that thought nosql was the end all and that SQL had no place.

If course they developed their app that required frequent data migrations because they were in fact very dependent on all the records matching the latest schema.

As someone who does systems administration which includes numerous government owned database servers, this is news to me.

dis what you get for working with 19 year old kids with inflated egos whom you only hired to worship you. Also when someone who is not an expert in a field has the confidence to make grand claims about practices in that field, it is a very nice litmus paper telling you that person is generally bullshitting.
