Right, but what is the point of using a relational DB if you aren't going to do joins?
(And equally knocking myself: There isn't much point doing relations in MongoDB... if that is what you need, use SQL. Lol.)
- splawn 13y agoThis highlights something i don't understand about non-relational DBs. Is there an actual use case for a database with multiple tables of unrelated data or is it a complexity trade-off thing?
- marknadal 13y agoYes, most of my actual data is just streams of inputs, that I only once-in-a-while-occasionally want to do some sort of MapReduce on. Most of the time, I just want my individual streams, and then pipe them around - and that is it. (Great for realtime systems, aka Node apps).
- aeorgnoieang 13y agoThat's interesting, actually. So logs would be good candidates for these kinds of DBSs?
