It's too bad people think MySQL is representative of all relational databases. I guess "mad hacks" make for better press / blog buzz than "we used postgres/oracle/etc. and it wasn't a big deal". (Some people love all-nighters, too.) Then again, the last thing I read about MySQL had somebody complaining how slow it was, but they hadn't ever indexed their tables. MySQL may not be the issue. I would love to hear about couchbd from someone who also understands relational databases. Under what circumstances would it be useful, besides hypothetical scaling? I don't need a better big RDBMS, but I wouldn't want to miss another incredibly useful "small" database tool like sqlite.
