I think people understands 'NoSQL' in a wrong way. 'NoSQL' stands for 'Not only SQL' . The advantage of 'NoSQL' is 1) It is scalable 2) Distributed data storage and processing 3) The great Map Reduce concept is there Above all all the NoSQL seems to follow same specification / standard which is absent in RDBMS world . NoSQl paltform like CouchDB gives not only data stoorage bust also facility to build web applications (See couchapps tool) Big players like Facebook etc uses NoSQL also (They use MySQL too). Comparing NoSQL with RDBMS is like comparing apples with Orange; that is what I feel -- ********************************** JAGANADH G http://jaganadhg.freeflux.net/blog *ILUGCBE* http://ilugcbe.techstud.org _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
