I quit doing software and databases quite some time ago, but I seem to  
recall occasional articles (like this one) predicting that SQL and the  
relational database model were on their way out as "developers" could  
do the same work SQL - and relational databases do - without using SQL.

I have no idea if this Mr. Ittycheria is legitimate or just another  
scam artist blowing smoke up investors' collective arses.  I suppose  
we'll know if MongoDB is for real when we read that Microsoft is  
buying the company for boo coos of cash and/or we start reading  
stories on Slashdot where Larry Ellison is demonizing Ittycheria and  
his company.
