NoSQL Systems
WARNING
How I got here
Trying to avoid, or having to avoid relational database systems.
Startup #1
- Object Design, Inc. (1988)
- Object-oriented database systems.
- An alternative to relational.
- Except: Not really. That was really marketing spin. Actually,
solved a completely different problem.
- Lesson: Don't call something a database system if it isn't.
Startup #2
- Novera, Inc. (1995)
- Java-based application development.
- Object-relational mapping: Write conventional Java code using
collections and objects; read/write relational databases behind
the scenes.
- Lesson: ORMs are actually a terrible idea.
