Re: You can only get away with a screw you attitude...

@a_yank_lurker - you're bang on. A whole pile of folks jumped on to NoSQL largely because reading Ted Codd and getting to grips with database design, normalisation, indexes or even SQL etc. that is required in designing and running a relational database was just a bit too much like hard work.

So they jumped onto Mongo and all the rest of them. Of course, it's all ended in tears and a fairly brutal lesson in why you have got to know your Codd before you implement anything that resembles a database even if it's not relational.
