I am surprised by so many "author is confused" and "author is misinformed" responses. Can't you guys operate on a higher level of abstraction? Aren't we all here dynamic language lovers? Just listen to what he says more closely, because he is essentially suggesting that strong typing is bad for databases for exact same reasons it's bad for programming languages. Yes, it makes things faster, more efficient, robust but ... (surprise!) less flexible and dumb. "Duck-typed storagebases" are indeed the future and perhaps the number of negative reactions is the best indicator of how novel the idea is. I am in disagreement with "semantic web" movement (in my opinion it's already semantic enough), but the storage part is spot on.
