NoSQL is slaying the RDB dragons throwing the SQL row farmers and DBAs into disarray with their fast columns, key values, graphs etc. Even Oracle has a NoSQL offering clearly it is the end of database as we new it. ACID is out, BASE is in! But Wait! Rumors are emerging of secret YesSQL efforts seeking to reclaim some of the NoSQL space. Is this just RDB vendor FUD or is fire under the YesSQL smoke? Is there an unholy RDB FP conspiracy? Join us for a provocative, informative and entertaining talk by Dave Thomas who is often at the lunatic fringe of technology.

This talk is jointly organised by VIC.NET (http://vic.net/), ALT.NET (http://alt.net/)and YOW! Nights.
