I was thinking about it, and it seems like a large amount of operations
on an RDBMS are equivalent to map/reduce operations.

Does anyone know of any research in this area, or is this old news that
I'm just now finding?

Does anyone know if there are any (include DDL) operations that can't
efficiently be put in terms of map/reduce operations?

Thanks,
Daniel.

Never mind. I realized that part of RDBMS involves filtering. I don't
know why I didn't think of it right away, its the most obvious part of
rdbms :-) Must be a Friday :-)
