Relational databases are good for factories and stores. Object databases map the model of the Web. Another puzzle for us. What does he have against relational databases? Did he get bitten by one once? I think we should be told. Yet again, this all seems curious to me. There's an awful lot of web sites out there built with PHP, Perl and Python built on top of MySQL. Also interesting that an increasing numbers of Mac OSX machines have MySQL pre-installed along with the scripting languages I've just mentioned. Now how many machines and web sites have an object or hierarchical data store as the back end? Of course, differences in installed base don't actually constitute any sort of argument, but Dave does seem to be listening to a different drummer here. Note, there are no feral "H"s in this post  |
