The dark side of NoSQL – Code Monkeyism

The three problems no-one talks about – almost noone, I had a good talk with the Infinispan lead [1] – are:
* adhoc data fixing – either no query language available or no skills
* adhoc reporting – either no query language available or no in-house skills
* data export – sometimes no API way to access all data

AggData – data sets. for example a set of AggData to describe countries would be a list of every country in the world

AggData is short for aggregate data, which means a set of data that is collected together in one place. On this site, the AggData will come in the form of a list of records, where each record has details about a specific object in the group. For example, a set of AggData to describe countries would be a list of every country in the world, perhaps with details such as capital city, land area, population, and so forth. The raw data might look like the following:
Afghanistan, Kabul, 647,500 sq km, 31,056,997
Albania, Tirana, 28,748 sq km, 3,581,655
Algeria, Algiers, 2,381,740 sq km, 32,930,091
…
and so on. While this information is already publicly available on the web, the advantage of AggData is that the data is collected into one file that is very raw and portable, which makes it easy to integrate into any application or website.

Dabble DB is a web-based application that lets you work with data on your own terms. Instead of downloading an application, you upload your data and then build your own database application. Screenshot of a table view You can import existing data or just start from scratch. Extend it or change it as you go. Restructure and redefine how you organize your data on a whim.
