I’ve been trying to keep up with this technology since it seems to be the future of databases. Last April, I posted an article on Planet Cassandra to introduce the topic of the NoSQL database. Since then there has been a good bit of activity in this arena. As of this writing, I’ve learned that there are currently 150 NoSQL databases of various types as quoted on the NoSQL Archive site nosql-database.org.
