What??? Relational DBs are the cornerstone of storage for we applications. And with postgres, you can add jsonb columns when you need unstructured. What could possibly be the default that dethrones relational DBs?
- subfay 8y agobs sorry, only because there are many use cases for sql doesn't mean it should be default. there is great db tech out there which doesn't fit to all requirements but can save you tons of time.
- eximius 8y ago> there are many use cases for sql doesn't mean it should be default Software that is performant and meets multiple use cases makes for a poor default? Give me some concrete examples. But keep in mind that this is a discussion of defaults. I'm not saying there aren't use cases you would want something besides something like Postgres, but unless you KNOW you have those requirements, relational DBs are an extremely strong choice.
