> I predict there will be a lot of rude awakenings and failed projects in the next 10-20 years. As opposed to the many many failed or stuck projects out there now because they made the mistake of using a relational database as an integration point between many applications and can't risk changing anything now because that one big global variable (the db) can't be touched without breaking 15 applications. The relational folk don't like to admit their shortcomings either.
