Merge to SQL inappropriate

Cross-posting for reference as I suspect that most people coming here will not read the lengthy SQL talk page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:SQL#Distributed_SQL_vs_SQL

I do not think my description of Distributed SQL database architecture should be merged into this article despite the tag. If I were to create the term I would have called them Distributed Relational. While they do execute SQL in a distributed manner, the means it which they (Spanner, Cockroach, et al) achieve consistency and how they store data is more interesting than that they support SQL the language. In my opinion User:CommanderWaterford's addition of a merge tag seems to be a reaction to the name of the technology rather than the contents of the article.

I am not familiar with this technology, but I agree, and this article is named incorrectly. It is about Distributed SQL database( management system)s, not about a kind of SQL, which is a language. So if the article should be merged, it should be merged into something else, and if it stays, it must be renamed. Rp (talk) 00:24, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But the term isn't Distributed SQL Database Management System -- but Distributed SQL (database) would be fine. Reboot (talk) 03:34, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
