"The first fully production-ready nonrelational, or NoSQL, database, called CouchDB [...]"
It's amazing how little research went into that first, very bold, statement. There have been quite a few non-relational datastores that have been released before CouchDB. Even if we restrict it to only document stores, we still have MongoDB which was released as 'stable' (1.0) on the 27th of August, 2009.

- ryanpetrich 16y agoBerkeley DB comes to mind; it's been around much longer than MongoDB.
- paulgb 16y agoI think lines like that should serve to remind us that journalists probably only know as much about law, finance, or science as they do technology. It's just that their ignorance is more obvious when they write about topics we know about.
- shoover 16y agoAnd if we don't restrict it to document stores, probably dozens or hundreds of production non-relational databases.
