Does anyone know what the current state of the regular dbms is? I
haven't worked with them too much, but it looks like they implement a
standard flat hash table of key value pairs where you can have
whatever you want for the key and whatever you want for the values. I
presume that we'd be talking about building our data store on top of a
set of these.
If we're going in this direction, it would be nice to know what their
performance characteristics are like so that we'd know how expensive
some of the things we'd need to to would be.
