Yes, you are right. I was thinking more about it not being a document-store like Mongo or couchdb. But I agree it's NoSQL.. will update

I don't think it's fair to say it's a NoSQL database. It's very much a transactional, consistent SQL database.

That would be NOSQL, not NoSQL

Yes, for sure. My NoSQL experience is primarily with MongoDB, which is a document store.

You're getting confused with NoSQL ;)

I was referring more to the marketing aspects of the term (and proposing their solution as a counterpart to "NoSQL"), than the concept itself. There are a lot of people who think that "NoSQL" is all about magic scaling sauce, and this isn't really helping.

I think you're conflating MongoDB with NoSQL; they're not the same thing.

Those databases I mentioned are not NoSQL, they are relational databases.

It is a NoSQL database with a novel architecture. It uses schemas, supports transactions, historical queries, and it doesn't use a client server model.

Many NoSQL options have schema management systems as well. That's not what makes NoSQL NoSQL.

That's not relational, that's closer to a NoSQL store.

LAC-Tech | karma 6383 | avg karma 2.95 · | 2022-01-17 18:14:30

Yeah but in my mind columnar stores and graph stores are NoSQL databases. Because they're not relational.

But the term has shifted underneath me. NoSQL means document database.

And - in practice - it means using a document database as the primary store when it's not really the right choice (been there!)

Looks more like a PHP JSON File writer and reader (with some extra stuff like nested properties) then a NoSQL Database.

Would you care to provide a brief rundown on this? I'm not doubting you. I'm simply ignorant.

What about other NoSQL solutions?

It didnt use to be and is a nosql db now

louischatriot | karma 916 | avg karma 3.98 · | 2012-11-14 14:53:02+00:00

Interesting, but I'd like to see how this compares to other NoSQL such as MongoDB.

tmountain | karma 3116 | avg karma 4.76 · | 2009-10-23 19:45:09+00:00

I think this might be a misnomer in that NoSQL in the general sense describes a set of technologies acting as value stores rather than a standardized language for accessing said values.

*This is the best NoSQL database going.

Yeah, right. Most of the things about it ARE wrong:

1. couchdb views, who likes async map-reduce indexes ?

2. memcached built ok (better would be redis built in)

3. json documents, even mongodb has bson and not json

4. the new global-indexes-thing IS NOT scalable because you have to hit every index-node to do a query

5. when will you be able to modify a document ? looks like still in beta

It's native and NoSQL.

robconery | karma 743 | avg karma 4.7 · | 2010-03-26 18:50:55+00:00

They should probably go NoSQL :)
