I hope this site's not built on SQL if you're trying to throw a jab and mongodb. "Error establishing a database connection" Cached Version: http://webcache.goo

  Yes, because everybody knows that, unlike a RDBMS such as MySQL, NoSQL databases like MongoDB can handle any volume of requests on whatever hardware you have available and without any fine-tuning of configuration.

  At first I thought the error was a beautifully crafted satire. Sadly, not

    There is at least one of this posts every week, I'm still waiting for the one that's really satire.

      A few years ago, I remember a site that, you selected which database system you used (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, PostGreSQL, etc.) and it would spit back the most likely error you were to receive when using it. I can't find it at the moment, nor can I find a combination of terms to search for that gets me any closer to finding it -- but if somebody else remembers it, then maybe you'll get that satire after all.

        Hmm, possibly this: http://adambard.com/blog/what-your-datastore-says-about-you/ http://adambard.com/blog/what-your-datastore-says-about-you/ > MongoDB: We haven’t picked a database yet. So much truth. :)
        • bmelton 13y ago
          Hilarious, but not the link I was thinking of. In the link in my brain, you were asked to pick the database. I remember distinctly having to click through to find out what the error was for each one.

            You know, I think I saw that too. If it was the one I'm thinking of, the results were memes. I vaguely recall the one for couchdb being something like a cartoon about um... "no SQL? so how do I query it?" "You don't; you write a distributed map/reduce function in Erlang." "Did you just rell me to f*ck myself?" "I believe I did, Bob." ...or something like that. Damnit, you'd think that'd be specific enough for google to turn up something... Edit: Woot, dbarlett got it. I think I was failing due to my incorrect recollection that it mentioned mongo and couch, and not nosql in general.

              You ought to get points for remembering the punchline for the NoSQL one, so I upvoted you. All I could remember was "it was really funny."

          That is EXACTLY the one. Thank you. :-)
