I think you should also give yourself some credit for the groundbreaking work you did using NoSQL Wiki technologies to manage complex healthcare metadata. The social aspect of metadata is critical also in the NoSQL world. Your presentations also made me think about how to integrate the best of Wiki systems into the NoSQL world.

Your post has some very quotable phrases. Please continue!

I have a follow-up question that I actually posted as a comment after your blog, cross-referenced here:

The real point to my rant was that while we can try to judge NoSQL solutions against relational technologies, there’s no reason to do so. And, by not so much of a coincidence, there is no reason to judge relational against post-relational solutions.

When I hear people saying that “relational is dead”, I translate that into “relational is dead for some problem sets”. I also take this “end of the relational world” ranting to be overt sales pitches to put fear into the minds of CIOs. My rule of thumb is that if one has a marketing pitch of only disssing other technologies, then the marketer is showing that he or she really has no message of strength for his own solution.

Dan gets its right in his course and presentations. It’s Not-Only-SQL. I’m good with that. In fact, I think it’s great when we find solutions with a better fit to a task.
