The NoSQL Ecosystem
abartels writes 'Unprecedented data volumes are driving businesses to look at alternatives to the traditional relational database technology that has served us well for over thirty years. Collectively, these alternatives have become known as NoSQL databases. The fundamental problem is that relational databases cannot handle many modern workloads. There are three specific problem areas: scaling out to data sets like Digg's (3 TB for green badges) or Facebook's (50 TB for inbox search) or eBay's (2 PB overall); per-server performance; and rigid schema design.'
Hey Bryce Jacobs, people know you are completely clueless. You've never known what you are talking about, and trying to hide your ignorance in wordy jargon-filled rants filled with weasel words isn't fooling anyone any more. Go back to playing with your little toy dBASE programs and leave the heavy lifting to people who understand how to implement post 1980s solutions.
It's a good thing you have all those tools to analyze the queries and tables, because you need them to make that complex pile of enterprisey spaghetti work. If only there was something out there that just worked, and didn't need all that hand-optimizing and tool-fiddling to kludge it into usability.
More importantly, it would be great to have some kind of data storage system that developers could just use and not be forced to go through the bottleneck of the custodian of tools who, often as not, will use the "guide them to better data retrieval" excuse to refuse reasonable requests for straightforward functionality as violating some kind of holy normalization or relational purity dogma.
Hahaha.. One time I was shit faced drunk and picked up a trollop (more accurately, she picked up me). Back at my place, she goes down and ignores the cock, ignores the balls, ignores the taint and starts giving me the best fucking rim job ever (more accurately, only one ever). As I mentioned, I was shit faced off of bud or natty light, so I had some beer farts, and I felt a massive one coming on and I knew it was more than just gas. I tried to move her head, but it was too late. I sharted in her face. A real nasty smelling beast, like a dead animal or rotten eggs. And, of course, the liquid shit.
I'm sure you've seen the smoking gun pic of the guy who was huffing paint. Imagine that, but with shit. And a girl, not a dude.
