great talk, shame it had to be so short

Good talk, Dave knows his stuff, good to hear honest, candid answers about database engines.

A great talk, it is difficult to present something that is very dependent on individual needs and use cases, it was even more difficult given the reduced time frame that the talk had to be delivered in.

Good talk, I wish we had more time to go into the examples more. Looking forward to reviewing those in the slides.

This was a great talk, just wish it had been longer. Looking forward to reviewing the slides.

wish it had been the longer version as we didn't get to dive too deep into some technical details
