Mike,
emphasizing Hank on real differences here.
Next time you see a programmers/database journal with an omnibus on NoSQL, go for it.
Have here at least 2 - from 2011 and 2009. Food for thought and you never know
when you will be invited to a round of bullshit bingo - so you can cheat by throwing in facts.
Don't splurge on books, as they will be yesterdays news soon enough,
but prints will sometimes/hopefully give you a more balanced overview without beig too partisan.
AT least over here they try to categorize the different type of NoSQL db's and give
examples of use cases. Often a DVD with installation is included for a rainy weekend ;-)
But the main tripod split is big data vs. document or object store,
with a sprinkling of language used and linkable to ;-)
>MongoDB is the one I read about. I wasn't trashing them or saying they are hard to set up, just that they are radically different from relational databases.
