NoSQL -- Old Wine, New Bottle
Got an email with links about NoSQL. Links like "Going NoSQL with MongoDB". This -- like many such articles -- includes the phrase "the NoSQL movement" as if there's something new going on. Thank goodness Ted Neward includes quotes around "new". This isn't new. And doubly good, Neward doesn't use words like "excitement".

Seems to lack an understanding of NOSQL architectures outside the fact that SQL as a query language is not used.

The NoSQL "movement" contains some good ideas and some really promising technology, but faces an enormous uphill climb against technologies with decades of history and [my guess] many tens of billions of dollars of investment. Let's not embolden the skeptics with a bunch of breathless utopianism.
