It does not matter what you or I think, it what is important and real. That what is super hot in the computer business is Hadoop. I may never use the product other than to play with but we have to keep abreast on the market trends. The difference between NoSQL and SQL databases is like Mya and Photoshop...one processes thousands of images and one, just one image at a time. We may never need anything more than Photoshop but for those in the image and movie business, Mya is one of the products of choice.

Yada, yada, yada. Still evangelising I see :-) 100 million records is not per se a problem for a SQL structured DB. No matter how many times people claim that it is, NoSQL is NOT a replacement for SQL, NoSQL is just a group of solutions to manage types of data that SQL is not ideal for. You might just as well say: With images exceeding several megabytes in size, NoAccess is much better than Access for manipulating graphic data. Take for instance the NoAcess super application called PhotoShop. -- Stuart On 28 Dec 2011 at 12:42, Jim Lawrence wrote: > You have to look no further than the NoSQL super database called Hadoop. > Development in this product has been drawing the best and the brightest from > all over the computer world. > > With databases now exceeded 100 million records the SQL structured DBs no > longer functions well in this new environment. > > http://tinyurl.com/d28d3r6 > > Jim > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com > _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com
