Why Some Devs Can't Wait For NoSQL To Die

Posted by Soulskill on from the must-be-the-insurance-policy dept.

theodp writes "Ted Dziuba can't wait for NoSQL to die. Developing your app for Google-sized scale, says Dziuba, is a waste of your time. Not to mention there is no way you will get it right. The sooner your company admits this, the sooner you can get down to some real work. If real businesses like Walmart can track all of their data in SQL databases that scale just fine, Dziuba argues, surely your company can, too."

    nobody ever got fired for choosing Oracle

    I would definitely fire anyone who specifies Oracle in my organisation. Oracle have shafted me twice by dropping support for a product with inadequate notice. Its either Postgresql or DB2 for me, unless MySQL is the best choice.

    I would also fire anyone who specifies MSSQL - with immediate effect, and no severance pay: On grounds of insubordination, incompetence and reckless endangerment. As for people who think SQL means MSSQL - they are either too ignorant or stupid to be employable.

    Twice as many milliseconds is not two orders of magnitude. Two orders of magnitude is 20x as many milliseconds.

    Your comment doesn't sound nearly as brilliant anymore does it?
