This presentation will discuss the reasons for the rise and development of NoSQL technology, and compare and contrast the alternative approaches. It will also look back at previous generations of database systems over the past 20 years and assess how they have fared commercially and whether NoSQL vendors can learn anything from history to avoid the same mistakes and pitfalls.
