But Thadeus, NoSQL is much more than moving away from SQL. It's not that we *want* joins to become an application's task, or that we want to remove consistency within requests. The driving forces are in general scalability, availability, & robustness with enormous amounts of traffic. For most sites good old SQL is pretty good. And there are some great ORMs to run on top of them. There will be many who follow the siren call of NoSQL who in retrospect could have done fine with MySQL/PostgresQL/ZODB. That will be next year's story. --r.
