No database
2006-03-26 Filed in: databases
Every once
in a while (especially with scripting languages), I
come across the intriguing phrase
"no
database required". Often
as a feature (example).
It sounds as silly as "no file system required, prefer raw disk blocks!" to me... What's next - no data structures required? no programming language required?
I s'pose the cause of this is the deployment hell involved in using any of the mainstream databases. Sensible objection, but wrong conclusion.
