My experience is with MongoDB as well and although I have gotten used to
the syntax, I dislike the fact that 1. you need to learn a 'new' syntax for
every system 2. that you have a function call with 7 different parameters
for each query you run which is IMHO rather unreadable (especially in
combination with point 1). Secondly, do you realize that the UnQL effort
has a lot in common with JSON notation to describe it that way? In other
words, the thing I believe you call "easy to understand" would still exist.
Few examples:
INSERT INTO abc VALUE ["this","is","an","array"];
INSERT INTO abc VALUE { type: "message", content: "This is an object" };
INSERT INTO abc VALUE { type:"nested", content: { content: "nested
object", x:1, y: {str:"hi", str2:"there"}, z:*true * } }; SELECT
FROM abc WHERE abc.type=="message"
For more complex examples you would have to check the links in the original
message, but you can hardly call this harder to understand than the
mongocollectionfind function (and as far as I am concerned a lot easier.)
