As Mark states in his response, Globals (http://GlobalsDB.org/) is a pure schemaless Database which is not limited to one of the known database types, or basic data models, by which NoSQL databases are most often defined (i.e. Key/Value, Column-Oriented, Document, and Graph). Globals gives you the flexibility to build whatever paradigm suites your needs, on top of the core engine (global structures).
With regard to interfaces to the Globals Database, we realized that Node.js was/is a wildly popular technology, so we added it as an interface to Globals early last year (2011). We now support the following three interfaces to Globals, with several others coming later this year: Java, Node.js, .NET (will be released soon) Please come and check out Globals for yourself, and download a free copy of the software at the following location: http://GlobalsDB.org/ downloads/ We are also currently hosting our 3rd Globals Programming Challenge, which will take place on the 10th of February (next Friday) @ 18:00 EST. Come and compete for a chance of winning our Grand Prize - US $3,500. - Michael P. On Jan 30, 12:46 pm, OldMster <[email protected]> wrote: > I would second Michael's recommendation of Globals.
