The Real No-Sql, the Real Slim Shady
May I have your data please?
May I have your data please?
Will the best NoSQL db please start up?
I repeat will the best nosql solution please start up?
We’re gonna have a split-brain problem here…

MoreSQL: No More NoSQL
We at MoreSQL believe in the following axioms:
Universal Applicability: there is no such thing as a problem which cannot be solved with relational databases. It doesn’t matter what you’re storing or how you need to use it. Tabular structures (which may or may not be linked via foreign keys) are the only way to go. End of discussion.
Ends Justify Means: as corollary to axiom 1, we will do whatever it takes to make SQL work for us. Views, stored procedures, cross-database calls: you name it, we’ll do it. Oh and by the way, using ORMs does not mean that you’re trying to shove a round peg into a square hole. They are beautiful and enchanting, OK?
Scale, shmale: relational databases can scale well enough. I mean, Facebook is running on MySQL, for crying out loud! Are you better than Facebook and its 10 trillion active users? I didn’t think so.
I’ve already tattooed myself with MoreSQL and I’m distributing printed leaflets with the axioms in all major squares in town.

Thank You
There are just a couple of hours left from 2011. At this time most of us are just relaxing, or making the last preparations for the party tonight, or thinking about the year ahead. But I couldn’t just let the year end without thanking the tons of people that made our adventure here on myNoSQL possible.
So to all developers creating great pieces of software, to all those having the guts to try out new technologies and sharing their experience with the community, to all those that helped me further spread the word about polyglot persistence and NoSQL databases in particular (I hope you’ll continue helping me), to all those that took a bit of their time to teach me something (by commenting on this blog or sending an email), to all my Twitter friends, and to all myNoSQL readers that kept me going:
Thank you!
I wish you all the very best for 2012!

Outgrew MongoDB … Now What?
How many anomalies can you find in this question and the OP’s comments?
Note: Given the OP’s detailed problem description, performance and space efficiency requirements, correlated with the costs limitations, I’d suggest firstly taking the MongoDB is web scale training and then using /dev/null.

SDB Explorer for Amazon SimpleDB
I opened my email this morning just to find one of the daily Mac software deals email promoting an Amazon SimpleDB tool: SDB Explorer[1]. This reminded me that last month I’ve seen NoSQL mentioned twice on TechMeme. I don’t know if any relational database has ever been mentioned on Oprah, but that’s the next stop for NoSQL databases. NoSQL is mainstream.

LAMP, NoSQL databases, Open Source, and Microsoft
Relative to the LAMP stack, NoSQL databases and other open source technologies, Microsoft technology is sometimes viewed as stodgy, non-innovative and expensive. For some, the Microsoft .NET Framework, SQL Server, SharePoint and certainly Windows and Office are impressive and reliable, but not the things that Web breakthroughs are made of.
Keywords: impressive, reliable, Microsoft.

The news today is brought to you by Milind Bhandarkar:
In other news,
java.util.HashMaprenamed “SingleNode NoSQL”
For concurrent environments it is recommended to use the updated version java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.
