Good review of non-RDBMS databases; enjoyed the talk!
Alternative Databases
Scott MacVicar (27.Sep.2009)
Talk at CodeWorks 2009 (Dallas) (English - US)
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 isto store data to disk in which an elaborate statement is used to retrieve. In most cases its difficult to correctly scale a RDBMS andyou still need to have enough space to store an entire copy of the database. Database systems such as CouchDB, MemcacheDB and Amazon's SimpleDBtake a different approach that make it easier to do distribution and simpler to use. This session will briefly cover why a relationaldatabase 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.

A great introductory to CouchDB and MemcacheDB, and associated software. I would like to see more real world examples or personal experience with these DBs in your next presentation.

Great information, will look into CouchDB further after Scott showed it off a bit.
