Here's a list of some of the more prominent new projects: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 10:00:00 GMT http://www.infoworld.com/article/09/03/24/12TC-databases-alts_1.html 2009-03-24T10:00:00Z http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/redirect?source=rss&url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/09/03/24/12TC-databases_1.html So you've got some data to store. In the past, the answer was simple: Hook up an official database, pour the data into it, and let the machine sort everything out for you while you spend your time writing big checks to the database manufacturer. Now things aren't so cut and dry. A fresh round of exciting new tools is tacking the two letters "db" onto a pile of code that breaks with the traditional relational model. Old database administrators call them "toys" and hint at terrible dangers to come from the follies of these young whippersnappers. The whippersnappers just tune out the warnings because the new tools are good enough and fast enough for what they need.
