that's probably right. We have a similar problem with MongoDB - once you have to start explaining the fundamental differences, the battle is lost. They are just too different from RDBMS.

There is nothing wrong in comparing two databases, many users don't really care about the internals and just want to know which one is the best for most jobs. I personally think couchdb is good for most apps that need a good db :)

Firstly, thanks for the write up Paul.

However, after looking at the feedback from the CouchDB book and monitoring the community response to CouchDB I am starting to feel that any kind of comparison
to RDBMS is a harmful one, unless done very, very carefully.
