Matt, Ok, maybe Globals was a stretch, it is extraordinarily fast, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Cache and GT.M
My 'when they grow up' comment was just because Cache and GT.M have been doing this for over 30 years, and are capable of running any enterprise of any size. So they've got data integrity built in, 'hot' standby capabilities, 'warm' standby capabilities, the ability to have data distributed across multiple servers appear as a single database, manage enormous datasets (All US Veterans Administration medical records, for example). Most of the features, tools, etc. that the newer No-SQL databases are working on, are probably already there, because someone has already needed them. I have no doubt that they (new No-SQL database) will come up with new features that aren't included, but that is the great thing about diversity. And I would bet that any really great features that do appear will also eventually appear in Cache and GT.M - competition is a good thing, even (especially perhaps) in the open source world.
