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."

    People who don't like SQL should get their heads out of their asses and use MySQL, a robust and enterprise-ready database.

    Interesting thesis...

      Oracle database license prices scale very well, too.

      "I would definitely fire anyone who specifies Oracle in my organisation."

      Since you can't even spell organization, I doubt you're in a position to fire anyone at all... (grin)

  6. Re:Some docs can't wait for Cardiac Clamps to die. by gazbo · · Score: 4, Funny
    You missed out the bit where the article about cardiac clamps talks about how much better they are than the old-fashioned medium vascular clamp. And how every subsequent edition of JAMA has several articles all trumpeting the glory of the cardiac clamps over the now-outdated vascular clamps (although all of these articles are written by first-year med students who have never actually performed an operation - but they did once have a nose-bleed and chose to use a cardiac clamp to stop it).

    Analogies are FUN!
