Have come across references to this a few times recently & am curious enough to ask the development community whether the NoSQL movement holds any relevance for Koha's future.
According to that font of universal wisdom, Wikipedia, "Typical modern relational databases have shown poor performance on data-intensive applications including indexing a large number of documents [= any ILS?], serving pages on high-traffic websites and delivering streaming media. They can be efficient only when they are tuned either for small but frequent read/write transactions or for large batch transactions with rare write accesses, while there are demands for the data stores capable of heavy workloads with frequent updates." Thoughts? How wedded is Koha to SQL in the long run?
