“NoSQL is a database movement which began in early to mid 2009. The term refers to certain non-relational data stores.”
From NoSQL (Wikipedia).
I’ve been reading a lot about CouchDB and MongoDB lately, and even I’ve discovered myself advocating this kind of storage at work.
I’ve been looking for a small project to try this kind of storage (probably CouchDB, because the JSON over HTTP API it’s simply brilliant), but I’ve not found a nice start point (does the world need another blog application? I don’t think so).
I’m not sure document based databases are the ultimate solution to any problem, because when you need to store data that needs a relational model… it’s when you should use a relational database. But anyway I think it’s a fresh and exciting new approach, and I’m curious about its possibilities.
