I think the introduction of this article has weaknesses. The definition of a "Real time database" is derived from the now 16 year old book Computers: Tools for an Information Age (ISBN:0-13-091954-3)

"Realtime database" has acquired a second meaning in recent years: it is used to refer to systems such as Firestore, RethinkDB, etc which push state from the DB to clients, thus "keeping the clients in sync in real time". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Myrmornis (talk • contribs) 16:20, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

This article is one of the oldest outstanding on the cleanup listing at almost 7 years. At this point I believe all outstanding, *major* issues have been addressed. As such I would like to remove this from the cleanup listing. Any objections before I do? Jaydubya93 (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I have removed the article from cleanup. Jaydubya93 (talk) 13:51, 16 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Not a bad article, but a little unencyclopedic in places, especially with the "how-to" aspects (Wikipedia is not an implementation manual), and some others aren't backed up strongly enough or feel like original research or outright speculation. It would be better if these were rewritten in an attributed style, e.g. "Lam says that ..." --Dhartung | Talk 10:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

To the best of my knowledge this has been addressed through numerous rewrites over the last 6-7 years since Dhartung's note. I'm happy to address further inconsistencies. Jaydubya93 (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

It would be really useful to add a list of existing real time databases.. --Defufna (talk) 10:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes! absolutely. -- Lovelywcm (talk) 12:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have added a list of various RTDBs as well as a third party reference providing them. Additional (more specific) citation can be provided as required if absolutely necessary. Lets add more while avoiding citations from corporations listing their own products or universities publishing their own research papers. Jaydubya93 (talk) 17:31, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

There are dozens of soft real-time databases and only one hard real-time database. I'm not certain that this would be helpful. 2603:3023:64B:4000:309C:3A33:8716:E494 (talk) 23:31, 14 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

The last line of the paragraph "Future database systems" is "This paper discusses the example of a school registration system." The line does not seem to be relevant to the page; it's possibly a vestige of the original residence of that paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.59.77 (talk) 07:56, 12 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

The text in question relates to technical definitions and is part of the public domain. 2603:3023:64B:4000:B924:5A52:BE31:2764 (talk) 18:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

It turns out the purported source https://www.mcobject.com/extremedb-rt-questions-and-answers/%7C1 copied from this article. You can tell because the article was phrased differently when it was created with the match increasing with time. MER-C 16:57, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
