Yep - but it's not an everything solution. My apologies if my enthusiasm makes it sound that way. Coming from the CMS space, document databases are somewhat of a silver bullet though - they solve so many problems that have plagued the space all along. I was on a panel with Drupal, Alfresco and Plone yesterday in Boston, and mentioned that Plone had ZODB all these years while the rest of us were stuck with flat, relational databases that were an awful fit for our object languages. With noSQL databases like MongoDB, CouchDB, hBase and many more, those problems are replaced with new ones sure; but at least we aren't banging our heads against the same old ones :^P Actually, I remember when all the CMS projects seemed to be pushing jQuery very very hard, and it creeped me out. In hindsight, it should be clear to everyone why jQuery was "the topic" back then, as it was so desperately needed. I feel the same way today about being freed from relational databases. -- Mitch _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation
