Some important context..
> A long-time IBMer, Chamberlin is now semi-retired, but finds time to fulfill a role as a technical advisor for NoSQL company Couchbase.
- yodon 2y agoI suspect your comment is meant to imply his role at a NoSQL company invalidates his opinion. With a resume and history like his, he can get a role as a technical advisor pretty much anywhere he wants at any time. The fact that he chose a NoSQL firm is an extremely strong vote of confidence in NoSQL.
- candiddevmike 2y agoVote of confidence in NoSQL to do what? There will never be a "winner" between NoSQL, SQL, NewSQL, etc, because they each fulfill a different purpose and have different trade offs.
- alex_lav 2y ago"Invalidates" certainly seems like a stretch, but with all opinion-posts I definitely think it's important to understand a person's biases and incentives.
- hu3 2y agoIt's important to disclose potential bias. Life's full of nuances.
- tanelpoder 2y agoOr the fact that Couchbase wants to get even deeper into building a SQL layer (SQL++) on top of their datastore.
