Brent Ozar revisits his 2018 T-SQL Tuesday #100 predictions about the database industry in 2026, scoring himself 5 out of 7. He correctly predicted DBAs would still be relevant, fragmented data localization laws, low SQL Server on Linux adoption, MSSQL-compatible serverless cloud offerings from major providers, and Microsoft fixing the 'String or binary data would be truncated' error. He missed on serverless architecture adoption breadth and cloud PaaS becoming the default new database. He closes by noting how uncertain the next 100 months look given AI disruption.
