While on the subject of “other” types of database, I posted an interview with RyanCrawcour about DocumentDB the other day:

When I'm round-tripping stuff from managed code and any database I expect natural feeling CLR type support, I don't want to have to transform data as it goes in and out. I received a rapid reply from a BrightstarDB developer who had added Guid property support into their developer branch. I don't know if that includes support for Guids as primary keys, as I couldn't coax their latest source download into compiling. Cheers, Greg P.S. Have you moved to Vic from WA?
