NoSQL is ideal for situations where we have a single table with no children. Consider something like FACEBOOK or the like, where there is a unique id for a single table, and there are jillions of records. We just want to find, insert, update or delete this entry and it has no parents or children. A simple key/store database is all that is needed. That is where the NoSQL model shines. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
