Igal GreenBerg (Avanade) Saying no to no-SQL
We are living in momentous times for the database world.
A forty year old reign of amazingly complicated Relational database engines is coming to an apparent end. Internet scale is the battle cry of the new social networks, and the only databases that can cope are the bastard children of SQL databases the no-SQL databases.
These new databases are remarkably simple and difficult to query but can scale to dizzying heights of Petabyte, Exabyte & Zettabyte with apparent ease.Who needs a state of the art database server when you have ten thousands CPUs & un-imaginable amount of RAM & disks at your service is the word on the street.
Internet scale applications cannot run on sophisticated database servers is another. We are living in a time of many interesting common sense statements.The truth is that the same businesses that are producing data in internet social networks need to analyse it with tools that actually work.
Loading data from social networks to SQL Server is a great way to bring your data to life. During this session we would go over a few examples of doing that the reasons & benefits for getting it done.
