[dba-Tech] Relational v NoSQL

Hi Stuart:

The one thing that could stop any adoption of the new MySQL is Oracle.

"...Since taking control of MySQL, Oracle has jacked up its support prices
and switched to an "open core" model, in which the basic version of the
database is available for free, but extensions aimed at enterprise customers
are proprietary, closed source, and cost a pretty penny..."

If the product development, under Oracle, runs true to form few Startup
development companies, if any will be following changes in MySQL as they
will be moving towards more reliable products or even forks like MariaDB,
for example. 

Many (Most) of the major players in the computer industry today, got their
start with database products like MySQL. If MySQL was not OSS with a GPL
type license we might have not had FaceBook or Amazon or EBay, today. 

If Oracle follows true to form it will not be long before MySQL will no
longer be used in the leading edge development market and MySQL will follow
the route of other over priced products like DBase, FoxPro, Clipper,
DataFlex, Paradox, etc, into history.

NoSQL? Memcache?

You could try the new mySQL:

"In addition, MySQL 5.6 allows NoSQL-style access to InnoDB data via the
Memcached API. 
This means developers can use any of the many existing Memcached clients and
libraries to 
bypass the overhead of query parsing, and grab data as simple key-value
pairs, resulting in 
as much as a 9x performance improvement for SET/INSERT operations."
