I'm not the right guy to ask on that one - I just don't have enough experience with alternative platforms. You're in the right forum though - as long as you follow the news on HN, you'll do a good job of choosing the right data storage platform for your needs.
- akurilin 13y agoI'm thinking your post would benefit from a recommendation as far as the "next closest thing" to MSSQL, since you're exhorting DBAs to make a transition, and minimizing friction would be an important aspect of it.

I'm just not qualified to make that recommendation myself. My experience with other platforms amounts to importing data into MySQL for WordPress, heh.
- statictype 13y agoI wonder if that was sarcasm :) If you spend too much time on HN, you'll end porting your RDBMS to Mongo DB or Voldemort.
