How long before Oracle buy them

Trollolol · on May 29, 2012

Even Oracle has some taste.

Plus, I think they have the single-server-database-that-doesn't-scale-easily market covered.

They already have a very similar BerkeleyDB, don't they?

berkeley db is not similar, mongodb allows you to store json, and create indexes on many parts of the json, and query on those as well. with berkeley db you have to build that in yourself in the application, not in the database.

By the looks of it they may have to buy someone.

Oracle NoSQL is simply a key/value store.

It's different from a product like MongoDB et al which support far richer data models.

If the "value" is a blob it can be any datatype, no?

Once Mongo starts to get traction with the banks of the world Oracle will be forced to step in and buy them.
