Hi all:

...and people complain about how difficult it is using Linux command line and bash shells. Microsoft Powershell does not take a backseat when it come to complexity:

We could sure use a nice GUI.

Hi Shamil

Yes, and Hadoop even runs at Azure:

 Hi Jim and Gustav --

<<<
What a moment to bring a potent Oracle server on its knees. That must have been a cup of coffee you never forget.
>>>
Oracle devs are known(?) to charge their Oracle servers with long running cycled SPs utilizing cursors - wasn't that the case?
As opposed to MS SQL T-SQL devs who mainly write set-oriented data manipulation SPs - so even when processing large data volumes they keep their MS SQL Servers flying... :)

As for NoSQL - Redis ( http://redis.io/ ) somehow keeps constantly popping-up in the IT-related stuff I'm reading - so Redis (and Hadoop) - are on first positions in my NoSQL bookmarks...
