Is the Relational Database Doomed?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the just-more-tools-in-the-bucket dept.

DB Guy writes "There's an article over on Read Write Web about what the future of relational databases looks like when faced with new challenges to its dominance from key/value stores, such as SimpleDB, CouchDB, Project Voldemort and BigTable. The conclusion suggests that relational databases and key value stores aren't really mutually exclusive and instead are different tools for different requirements."

    I am certain that I have has much disdain for Obama as anyone else you might find here. Nothing would make me happier then seening O leave office in 2012 head hung in disgrace. Oh and yea I do want him to make it to 2012 because otherwise that probably means Bidden is president and that is one of the few leaders I can image being worse than Nobama.

    Still by suggesting he is like FDR and then suggesting his term will be sort I am not sure I understand. Last I checked FDR was our only Unconstitutionally long office holder in the presidency....
