Normally, I'm not a fan of putting the date on a post. However, in this case, the fact that Stonebraker's article was published in 2010 makes it more impressive given the developments over the last 15 years - in which we've relearned the value of consistency (and the fact that it can scale more than people were imagining).

As someone not very deep into databases, these papers were fun to read.
