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/> On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 9:10 PM, Patrick Kariuki <patrick.kariuki@gmail.com>wrote:
