Stop it. You're doing it again.
The whole idea of "Computer Programming" is that you pick the best tool for the job. It has nothing to do with NoSQL.
- markkanof 17y agoThat's a really good point. Saying that NoSQL is about picking the right tool for the job makes it easy to dismiss. There are lots of programmers out there that just refuse to look at any other tools than the very small set that they already know. I think it would be beneficial to change that attitude across the spectrum of programming tools.
- Groxx 17y agoNoSQL is primarily a reaction to the ubiquitousness of relational DBs. It's providing another tool aside from a hammer.

- Groxx 17y agoBoth are in nearly every dictionary around. And given the base of "ubiquitous", I prefer adding a "ness" to denote a quality, which is extremely common in English and can even be applied to words that don't normally accept it, so it's an easy cognate. Something being cheesy == has cheesiness. "Ubiquity" is more of a hacked form of a word, as it removes from the base word. Though I admit it's shorter, thus may eventually achieve ubiquity over ubiquitousness.
- mcantor 17y agoI find the asininity of this debate exasperating.
- Semiapies 17y agoNot to continue the content-free let-me-fix-that-for-ya sniping you're answering, but "ubiquity" dates back to 1579. It's a nice, old word, not a hack or neologism. Nonetheless, both words are entirely proper, acceptable, and clear.
