开源走向世界（下）：从数据库技术演进看开源力量丨 BDTC 2021
本文内容根据 PingCAP 高级副总裁范若晗在 BDTC 2021 的主题演讲：“开源走向世界” 整理而成，从协作方式和技术演进两个角度，分享了 “开源” 和 “全球化” 之间相互关联，密不可分的关系，分为上下两篇，上篇介绍了开源如何构建全球化的舞台，本篇主题为：从数据库技术演进看开源力量
我们认为，数据技术演进的驱动力总结起来，主要包括三个方面：理论基础推动软件创新、基础设施保障软件能力的实现、业务需求真正打磨了技术的不断工程化、产品化，是产品真正的 “用武之地”。
数据库演进历史——基础理论驱动
按照时间和功能维度，我们将数据生态做了划分，大致包括 SQL 生态，大数据生态，NoSQL 生态，NewSQL 生态，以及 SQL 的云化生态。每个生态的演进，离不开基础理论的发展。
1970 年 IBM 的关系型数据库理论 Relational Model 包括 System R 原型产品的问世，为 Oracle、DB2、MicroSoft SQL Server 这些商业数据库的诞生奠定了基础。而后 MySQL、PostgreSQL 以开源这一形态获得快速发展和全球最广泛的应用。
