They're not shutting down their Oracle DBs though. Or at least I hope not.

- taligent 14y agoNo. But all new development isn't being done on it. My point is that stories like this are becoming the new norm especially with companies like 10gen and Datastax wining and dining CIO/GMs pretty hard. MongoDB in particular is getting a (misguided IMHO) reputation as a drop-in replacement for MySQL. And the last MongoDB training session had developers from banks, insurance companies, finance houses etc. I am pretty sure that many of the next 10+ years of in-house built enterprise apps will be using NoSQL databases. Which will in turn then result in university courses changing thus affecting the next generation of programmers.

Besides the word "database", what do those systems have in common? How is it a drop-in replacement? The only reputation common to both is regarding data integrity, and it's not a good one.
