		astine on Dec 17, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Friendly: NoSQL With MySQL in Ruby This reminds me of Elephant, a CL OODBMS that can use Postgres as a key/value store backend. OODBs, document stores, et al. are useful but using a complete RDBMS as a backend is both overkill and inefficient in my opinion.

Yeah, there is a reason Elephant is nearly an order of magnitude faster when run on Berkeley DB.
