[dba-Tech] FYI: state of databases

Thanks for the link Jim --- was interesting reading.

I have been working with Oracle for 15 years  before that was a short 
time with powerbuilder  after working with hierarchical db for 20 years. 
All the while using Access 2 through 2010 for mini systems or a way to 
grab the Oracle data into small tables for reporting and trending for users.

Now doing some work with Ms SQL Server moving old access database 
backends to that. Less worry about the versions not talking to each 
other well.

I want to look into the NOSQL and learn abit more about it
thanks again

It ended up with me getting most of my DB work in Oracle...it was a little disappointing but at least it paid. If Oracle was not so established, locally, it may (have) give(n) other database, other than Oracle.
