I kind of think they are different tools for different jobs. NoSQL has risen out of the need for massively scalable databases. For the vast majority of apps, using one is overkill, and probably leads to the kind of messy data access and reporting scenarios you envision. In other words, that "How do I query it?" "You write a map reduce function in Erlang." cartoon is right on the money. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation
