Yep! +1
I used "nosql" back in the dos days, using btrieve running on a novell
server. Was pretty wicked fast... but... we had to store things with
horrible keys, because all the children needed the parent key + child
key + index. sucked.
I hated writing reports, alot! There was no sum or group by or joins..
ick. I never want to go back.
Moving from key/value to relational db was like moving from a tricycle
to a 10-speed bike.
