Oh, sorry, that was a non-sequitur. The actual reason is that text doesn't mean you can't modify them and create new licenses, it means you can't modify them and still call them A/GPL. https://www.gnu.org&#x2F

"Software as a service" is a well understood concept, and on the strength of that understanding, the SSPL is clear. (Although as with all things there are edge cases, there aren't more edge cases with the SSPL than with oth

SSPL is based on the GPL, not the AGPL, so no, the SSPL isn't itself a copyright infringement. BTW, check out the "What specifically is different between the GPL and this new license and what will it be called?" section of th

Disclosure: I work for MongoDB. I suspect some people are responding to what they've heard, so I just want to post section 13 of the SSPL here for everyone's convenience. This section is the only part of the SSPL that isn't e

The same features exist in Atlas, so you should be good to go there.

Think about it less in terms of relational/non-relational and more in terms of tabular/document. Tables can only model things in terms of relations. Documents can model them either as embedding or as external references, dependi

>Aggregates carry with them a memory limit. I think you are referring to the 100MB RAM limit, but that’s not a hard limit, it’s more of a bad default. The `allowDiskUse` option lets MongoDB write intermediate results to the disk (which

While doing so, I recommend you think some about the meaning of embedding relationships vs. referencing them in other collections. MongoDB can do both (the aggregation framework provides joins in the form of the $lookup stage). If you have

> Having to resort to doing things like map/reduce for a simple group by / order is not the way to go IMO. Perhaps you are unaware, but that is a straw-man. That’s not how you’re supposed to with MongoDB. You’d use the aggregat

John radically overstates his case in that article based on incomplete information; note that none of the code he points to is even 1.0 code. Nonetheless, it’s accurate enough to say that the 1.0 BI connector used Postgres code. It was defi

Quibble: “schemaless” isn’t accurate, MongoDB supports schema (JSON Schema, in fact). We often say “dynamic schema”. But your main point is good—- JSON isn’t the essence of it. And yet it’s part of it, in that you could store XML and stil

What you wrote isn't a fact, it's a claim, and a shoddy one at that. If you're basing it on anything other than hearsay, I'd love to see your proof.

I suggest then that you get the latest versions of MongoDB and PostgreSQL and run that test and report back. Verifiable isn't the same as verified.

If you're going to get on the "MongoDB was overhyped" bandwagon, you should probably not post links to performance comparisons you pulled off of an EDB Postgres website.

Just to be clear, a better term would be "dynamic schema". You can ask for data type validation since 3.2.
