Database Skirmishes: Relational versus Non-Relational
March 15, 2010
A happy quack to the reader who sent me a link to “SCALE 8x: Relational vs. Non-relational.” I was able to access the link, but the page was marked “subscribers only.” The main point of the write up was to explain some of the performance differences between Codd databases like SQL Server and Oracle and the non relational data management systems like those in use at Google or Digg.com. You can download the slides upon which the article was based at http://www.pgexperts.com/document.html?id=40. The article also includes a useful write up about the issue at http://ossdbsurvey.org/.

No one paid me to write this news item. I will report this sad fact to Health & Human Services because I used a variant of the word “relation”.
