But to play devils advocate, doesn't advocating using a NoSQL solution as the default storage option suffer from the same fallacy?
For many of the people on both sides of this argument, I think they are both right in that the solution their promoting is optimal in certain contexts.
For many of the people on both sides of this argument, I think they are both wrong in that their advising using a tool across the board, independent of the context of its use.
Also, "good programmers know how to index properly" and "he's a dba that's scared of his career disappearing" are both ad hominem arguments. Let's stick to facts people.
- tjogin 17y agoNoSQL isn't the default storage option. It is a storage option. NoSQL means this: "Hold your horses, are you sure SQL is the right option for storing that? There are other options." In any debate, extremist views will tend to get heard as much, or probably even more, than the rational ones, but the concept didn't start out irrational, it started out the way I just described it. Then came the nutbags who claim that either SQL never ever scales, or that SQL is in fact the only way to store anything at all in the real world and that it fits every use case in the known universe, perfectly.
