Hello John I 100% agree with you. NoSql databases (Azure for eg) are so far removed from relational databases, that they do not belong in the same comparison, even the same discussion. I know they give you enormous scalablity, reliability and performance, but the engineering in such an app cannot compare to what we do. Even your monster db's are pip squeaks compared so these beasts typically do. In my mind, they are just stinkin' lists, and I am sticking with Ansi 92 SQL.
