NoSQL is fool's gold
- vampirechicken 14y agoI'm convinced that "NoSQL" really means "We found out how flipping difficult it is to write a decent query optimizer, so we didn't write one. Your on your own." Otherwise, I cannot think of a reason to eschew the Standard Query Language as an interface to one's database product.
- bunderbunder 14y agoI'm skeptical about the NoSQL hype, too, but I don't think one can really write the whole thing off as fool's gold. If only because of examples like Google's success with BigTable.
