Guys, I've been thinking about a good starting point for these database engines. What's the best starting point - I'm looking for something open source, can be downloaded and hosted on a PC and needs no internet connection to work with, that's easy to work with for a beginner at this type of engines. I've been using RDBMs. Any leads will be highly appreciated. On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 3:37 AM, Patrick Kariuki <patrick.kariuki@gmail.com>wrote:
Makobu... tell me about it - I still don't get the joke in this (http://browsertoolkit.com/fault-tolerance.png) cartoon :-)
Different solutions call for different problems....or is it the other way round?

Been wrestling with BigTable for a while now because of appengine. Everything works fine till you need to implement a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship (no joins in NoSQL dbs). Heh.
NoSQL is useful for massively distributed storage systems like Google's or AWS. I found the science in this document<http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable-osdi06.pdf>especially illuminating.
Another useful link. <http://nosql-database.org/>

We discussed this a gazillion threads ago and I just noticed that employers now consider knowledge on distributed non-relational database systems as beneficial/advantageous for Perl/Python/PHP Software Engineer positions. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
