Getting Started with NoSQL « myNoSQL. Couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure to sit down with Mathias Meyer, Chief Visionary at Scalarium, a Berlin startup and discuss NoSQL adoption.
Like myself, Mathias is really excited about NoSQL and he uses every opportunity to introduce more people to the NoSQL space. Recently he gave quite a few presentations around the Europe about NoSQL databases. The discussion has focused on how would someone start learning and using NoSQL databases and the path to follow in this new ecosystem. Below is a transcript of our conversation. MyNoSQL. Quest Fields NoSQL Administrator Tool - CIO.
IDG News Service — Quest Software has posted a free beta version of a software program that will allow database administrators and developers to better understand what is stored in non-relational databases.
"For certain classes of applications, a non-SQL model is perfectly valid, and in a cloud-computing environment, it [can be] necessary. But there are a number of problems that have to be solved for enterprise adoption," said Guy Harrison, who is the director of research and development for Quest. Toad for Cloud Databases, a version of the company's popular Toad line of database administrative tools, posted on Wednesday, can be used to query data on non-SQL databases using SQL queries.
The software can also be used to bridge non-relational databases -- also referred to as NoSQL databases -- and relational databases: The software can migrate data to and from different databases and run queries across multiple databases, either relational or non-relational.
