Show HN: ArangoDB – A distributed open-source multi-model NoSQL DB
- ethanjones 12y agoNice feature set. But why do I have to learn a new query language again?
- ifcologne 12y agoHave a look at some examples, it's quite similar to SQL / UNQL.
- phpnode 12y agoBecause it's a graph database so it doesn't really fit naturally with SQL. Competitors like OrientDB use something that's nearly SQL but not quite, and it's the discrepancies between the two that catch you out. Arango's query language is pretty nice when you get used to it. The one criticism I have of Arango is that they're doing a lot of wheel reinvention with foxx, when I think they'd be a lot better off leveraging more of the node ecosystem.
