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.

Mark
