Alternative Databases
Scott MacVicar (05.Oct.2009)
Talk at CodeWorks 2009 (New York) (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.

I'm sorry Scott, but that one was total failure for me.
You have a knowledge of what you tried to talk about, but you were completely unprepared, spent way too much time talking BS with the audience and I think you tried to share too much with us.
The only thing that I remember from that talk is that SQL is very old and no one implemented it correctly.
So where were the alternative DBs?
