A very interesting article from the Hot Scalability site about VOLTDB, a next-generation RDBMS that is purported to scale beyond NoSQL implementations without giving up ACID. It targets both the NoSQL style databases (listing the six SQL urban myths that its makers think NoSQL advocates fall prey to) as well as the ‘dinosaur’ traditional RDBMS’ like Oracle and SQL Server.
The article is a very interesting read, giving a lot of pros and cons about VOLTDB, but if databases are your cup of tea, it’s definitely worth looking into.
