Right, this is actually what I was getting at, without even being conscious of it when I asked that. Part of the appeal of NoSQL is that programmers don't need to learn a different paradigm of thinking other than the usual imperative model.
I'm not sure if I like that rationale for using NoSQL. Strikes me as being lazy up front. Or maybe you don't really need ad-hoc queries.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoAs a fan of Codd/Date/Pascal, relational algebra, and ACID, I used to feel the same about NoSQL, but have since come to appreciate it as an option. Schemaless is nicer for exploratory programming with frequent data model changes, for one example. Here's a good article on NoSQL data modeling that covers it better, along with some good discussion in the comments: http://highlyscalable.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/nosql-data-modeling-techniques/ http://highlyscalable.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/nosql-data-mo...
