This reminds me of someone ...
Obnoxio The Clown posted a link to a satirical MongoDB piece, which turned into banter. Ian Michael Gumby said he used HBase, doubted MySQL as a real RDBMS, and called XPS dead despite its 1990s scalability. Malc linked a blog on whether one needs a relational database, disagreeing with its eventual-consistency argument. No technical question was asked or answered.

me perhaps?
You promote mysql or is that you promote 'NoSQL' databases? :-P Seriously I know OTC was poking fun of me. And yes, I thought the teddy bears were cute. Except for a couple of things... I know why I choose to use HBase and how it scales. I know why customers who use Oracle can't get it to scale well enough. I know that HBase isn't going to replace databases which is why I kind of ping'd Keesee and wondered about XPS but since IBM doesn't do anything with XPS (Marketing , sales, enhancements) well what do you expect? Lets face it. XPS had near linear scalability back in the 90s. But its a dead product. Sure IBM will sell it if you beg hard enough. But again lets look at the costs... Even IBM has stuck their toe in the water. IM (Information Management) pillar has a 'Hadoop' offering that is being lead out of IBM's Emerging Tech in NC Tri-Park where they are trying to give away their solution based on a 32bit Linux and IBM's JVM. (I've seen the JIRA's raised by an IBMer) ;-) Oh there's more but I didn't want to spoil OTC's poke at me. But hey! What do I know? I didn't think MySQL qualified as a *real* RDBMS... :-0 ;-P -G > From: dryburghj@yahoo.com > Subject: Re: This reminds me of someone ... > Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 12:40:48 -0700 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > me perhaps? > _______________________________________________ > Informix-list mailing list > Informix-list@iiug.org > http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list
