I predict the new data stores like Redis, CouchDb and MongoDb will soon replace MySql as the default standard for new development. Once people start downloading and getting comfortable with these data stores, there will be no turning back.
MySql will be less important two years from now, regardless of what Oracle does.
- mahmud 17y agoThe NoSQLs need a unified a data-interchange format ASAP. Do something based on JSON or XML. Without interchangeable data you need a unified API, and I am not sure they're willing to collaborate on that. RDBMSes win because of ANSI SQL, ODBC and ORMs. If it wasn't for backend independent code bases the RDBMSes would have no leg to stand on.

- bayareaguy 17y agoThat's a good idea. This could even be the start of a viable product catagory. While in many cases it's trivial, I think it would also make sense for NoSQL's to add some kind of way to support common INSERT or COPY FROM .csv file commands. That would make it easy for organizations with existing SQL databases to see if a NoSQL could better solve some of their needs.
- astine 17y agoRDBMs have an edge with many kinds of data. I'm an HSM reporting engine which aggregates logs and filesystem info into a Postgres instance. Because the DB is 'aware' of the structure and relationships of the data, I can add many implicit checks and behaviors that would have to be hand-coded in a hash-key store.
