"A lot has been written about the "NoSQL" alternative as an
alternative to SQL and other large database systems for a lighter,
faster, cheaper alternative for the cloud. Most of these light
weight database processors ignore data processing principles and
lack the ability to turn data into information. This SQL trade-off
may not be necessary.
"There has been a lot written about the "NoSQL" alternative in
the press as an alternative to SQL and other large database systems
for a lighter, faster, cheaper, easier to add new data types, and
larger memory capacity alternative for the cloud. Most of these
light weight database processors do what they claim but at a cost
of ignoring data processing principles and lacking the ability to
turn data into information. This SQL trade-off may not be
necessary. The solution is to take advantage of ANSI SQL's powerful
inherent full hierarchical processing capability as described
previously in this series of articles on SQL hierarchical
processing.
"Hierarchical Structure Natural Benefits
"Hierarchical structures are very unique not only in how well
they organize data, but also in how they naturally capture more
meaning than is stored with the data. Even more impressive is their
ability to dynamically process this natural goldmine of meaning in
unlimited ways that further increases the value of the stored data.
With the increased use of hierarchical XML data structures today,
there is an incredible amount of unused data value potential
available."
