  comment = {They point out that the comments of boral:critique --- that
  database machines were doomed --- did really not come true. Their new thesis
  is that specialized hardware is not necessary and has not been successful,
  but that parallel database systems are clearly succesful. In particular, they
  argue for shared-nothing layouts. They survey the state-of-the-art parallel
  DB systems. Earlier version in Computer Architecture News 12/90.}
