IMHO and probably limited experience, all data problems as data size and concurrency approaches infinite become the same problem, and that problem is more easily solved with a KVS rather than with infinite RDB tables.
To me, KVS and RDB are just two sides of the same coin. If you start modelling properties your DB will look like a RDB, if you start with objects first your DB will look like a KVS. I prefer KVSs because it's more natural for me to think of everything that way.
Here I'm abusing the scope of the word KVS, what I pretend to mean is some kind of "document" store accessible/sorted by keys.
- lukaseder 13y agoYes, I know that Erik Meijer tried to claim that KVS (NoSQL) and RDBMS are two sides of the same coin: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1961297&repost http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1961297&repost To me, quite frankly, his article sounded more like a pro-LINQ marketing campaign than anything else :-). No wonder he's propagating duality between SQL and NoSQL (coSQL) when he planned on creating a company called Applied Duality Inc...
