Since I haven't seen anybody mention it yet, another old contender in this class was Lotus Notes/Domino. NoSQL before NoSQL was cool.
I worked with an ex-Lotus guy once, and he always raved about how easy it was to build out LOB apps with it and have a pretty capable little database in a single .nsf file.
IBM has washed their hands of it, but I know of a lot of big corporation, and especially militaries, that are still running applications on top of Notes.
- topspin 7y agoI've brought up Notes in the past. My encounter was with a synthetic DNA company that was spread all over the planet; two US states, two European countries and Japan. Notes delivered reliable, distributed databases to all of these sites using marginal hardware, intermittent network connections and without much maintenance.
