Father of SQL says yes to NoSQL
-
The co-author of SQL, the standardized query language for relational databases, has come out in support of the NoSQL database movement that seeks to escape the tabular confines of the RDBMS.
SELECT * FROM table not enough?
You mean, sometimes all data isn't tabular? :boggle:

Of course... we have excel too.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

NoSQL databases and their query languages could help perform the tasks relational systems were never designed for.
Surprise! There are tasks relational systems were never designed for! And for those there are other tools! Well, that doesn't affect the tasks that relational systems were designed for. SQL is still a as good a choice for those as ever! (Side tracking a bit: Why don't we have a selection of relational languages with different properties? SQL is far from perfect! For general programming we have scores of languages of quite varying character. We should have alternatives to SQL as well!)
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.
