Relational databases have evolved significantly since their inception between 1976 and 1979, notably with the introduction of query optimization using indexes. The 2010s saw the rise of schemaless databases, allowing developers to manage data without predefined schemas. CrateDB enhances this concept by indexing every column by default using Lucene, providing high query efficiency but with increased storage requirements. This revolutionary approach simplifies and accelerates database management, potentially rendering traditional database optimization roles obsolete.
