My feeling is that the people who flock to NoSQL have never used a good ORM such as Django to abstract away the raw SQL queries.
A good ORM gives you the simplicity of NoSQL plus all the power of a relational database.
- thehardsphere 9y agoI think that is only true of a subset of NoSQL users. And even if it is true that Django's ORM is very nice, there are tradeoffs to using an ORM that mean you don't get "all the power" of whatever database you are using. Maybe all the power you care about; for instance, power in expressiveness and easy cross platform support, at the expense of performance optimizations that aren't important to you. But it's still a tradeoff.
- konschubert 9y agoYou're right.
