Database researchers have striven to improve the capability of a database in terms of both
performance and functionality. We assert that the usability of a database is as important as
its capability. In this paper, we study why database systems today are so difficult to use. We
identify a set of five pain points and propose a research agenda to address these. In
particular, we introduce a presentation data model and recommend direct data manipulation
with a schema later approach. We also stress the importance of provenance and of …
