Pioneering a new market and introducing an innovative technology in the process invariably results in customer confusion, usually driven by a fairly predictable “I’ve never seen one of those before” reaction: What is a relational database and why would I need one when IMS is doing just fine? What is a business intelligence tool anyway why would I need it in addition to ReportSmith?

See EMC’s press release on the deal here .  First, some takeaways from the press release and related coverage: All cash transaction, valuation undisclosed.  See below for some fun and math, trying to guestimate it from standard ratios. Greenplum had raised $61M in venture capital. EMC intends to create a new “data computing” product division and to have Greenplum CEO Bill Cook run it, reporting to Pat Gelsinger .

The gnomes of ISO (err, ISO/IEC JTC1 SC34 WG5) have released the second draft of their Technical Report comparing ODF and OOXML (PDF). It is up to 126 pages now, and much more fleshed out than the first draft. One..

Add this class to your C# project: public class Directory { private string _path; private Directory( string path) { _path = path; } public static Directory ApplicationData { get { return new Directory ( Environment .GetFolderPath( Environment .SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)); } } public static Directory CommonApplicationData { get { return new Directory ( Environment .GetFolderPath( Environment .SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData)); } } public static Directory operator /( Directory root, string folder) { return new Directory ( Path .Combine(root._path, folder)); } public static implicit operator string ( Directory directory) { return directory._path; } } Now you can express directories naturally: string databaseFileName = Directory .ApplicationData / “MichaelLPerry” / “CorrespondenceIM” / “Correspondence.sdf” ; I don’t have a good place for code like this to live. What do you do with these kinds of utilities?

We are in the middle of one of our periodic analyst tours at MarkLogic , where we meet about 50 top software industry analysts focused in areas like enterprise search, enterprise content management, and database management systems.  The NoSQL movement was one of four key topics we are covering, and while I’d expected some lively discussions about it, most of the time we have found ourselves educating people about NoSQL. In this post, I’ll share the six key points we’re making about NoSQL on the tour. Our first point is that NoSQL systems come in many flavors and it’s not just about key/value stores.  These flavors include: Key/value stores (e.g., Hadoop) Document databases (e.g., MarkLogic, CouchDB) Graph databases (e.g., AllegroGraph) Distributed caching systems (e.g., Memcached) Our second point is that NoSQL is part of a broader trend in database systems :  specialization.  The jack-of-all-trades relational database (e.g., Oracle, DB2) works reasonably well for a broad range of applications — but it is a master of none.  For any specific application, you can design a specialized DBMS that will outperform Oracle by 10 to 1000 times.  Specialization represents, in aggregate, the biggest threat to the big-three DBMS oligopolists.  Examples of specialized DBMSs include: Streambase, Skyler:  real-time stream processing MarkLogic:  semi-structured data Vertica, Greenplum:  mid-range data warehousing Aster:  large-scale (aka “big data”) analytic data warehousing VoltDB:  high volume transaction processing MATLAB:  scientific data management Our third point is that NoSQL is largely orthogonal to specializatio n.  There are specialized NoSQL databases (e.g., MarkLogic) and there are specialized SQL databases (e.g., Aster, Volt).  The only case where I think there are zero examples is general-purpose NoSQL systems.  While I’m sure many of the NoSQL crowd would argue that their systems can do everything, is anyone *really* going to run general ledger or opportunity management on Hadoop?   I don’t think so
