No:SQL (east) 2009
As you may have noticed, there has been a lot of talk around NOSQL “movement” lately. The name, NOSQL was created to describe non-traditional data storage engines and techniques to address concerns of data sets of horizontal scale. Innovations such as Google’s BigTable and Amazon’s Dynamo have led to a rise in a new wide variety of new technologies and ideas around pointed problems as data sets at scale, like CouchDB, Redis, MongoDB, Cassandra, Voldemort and many more. These NOSQL technologies have little unifying them together as they use such techniques as Column-Oriented, Key-Value Stores, CAP Theorem, and no one to rule them all, but underlying them is that they are different than the “traditional” RDBMS solutions of SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and so on. These NOSQL solutions are starting to turn up in good numbers for specific use cases and not meant to be the end all solutions.
