UnQL, pronounced “Uncle,” could be considered a “superset” of the SQL syntax, Phillips said. It can parse all statements formulated in the SQL language and supports a number of new operators and expressions as well.

CouchDB 0.10 was already in a good shape to make a lot of users happy and versions as soon as 0.7 have been used successfully in production over three years ago. 0.11 doesn’t add a whole lot of new features, but it comes with a few convenience features that will make your 1.0 experience even more pleasant. The CouchDB dev-team did a lot of work on security, performance and robustness, but this should not be the focus of this series.

CouchRest is designed to make a simple base for application and framework-specific object oriented APIs. CouchRest is Object-Mapper agnostic, the parsed JSON it returns from CouchDB shows up as subclasses of Ruby’s Hash. Naked JSON, just as it was meant to be.

Sorta like a couch except smaller and outside, also, a client side JSON document store.
Perfect for webkit mobile apps that need a lightweight, simple and elegant persistence solution.

Interesting trend emerging: clients (i.e., web browsers) hitting resources directly. Some examples I’ve seen recently:
* CouchDB speaks javascript/json natively, so it’s trivial (and encouraged) to access the database directly from the browser.
* Jester is a javascript library for fetching ActiveResource-style xml record from a Rails app, putting 100% of the display logic into the client.
* Strophe is a javascript XMPP library. Chat programs in the browser can connect directly to a Jabber server, and skip talking to any HTTP server altogether.

Test Center: Slacker databases break all the old rules
Amazon SimpleDB, Apache CouchDB, Google App Engine, and Persevere, offering far greater simplicity than SQL, may have a better way of storing data for your Web app
