Alternative Databases
Presented by Scott MacVicar
Relational databases are considered the norm for most new projects but is it really suited to the task? The most common use for a database is
to store data to disk in which an elaborate statement is used to retrieve. In most cases its difficult to correctly scale a RDBMS and
you still need to have enough space to store an entire copy of the database. Database systems such as CouchDB, MemcacheDB and Amazon's SimpleDB
take a different approach that make it easier to do distribution and simpler to use. This session will briefly cover why a relational
database might be a bad choice for your project before exploring CouchDB, MemcacheDB and SimpleDB as possible solutions.
Included will be some code samples and demos.
