Rename Maria
,----[ Quote ]
| To prevent confusion, it seemed like a wise
| choice to get the storage engine, Maria,
| renamed. MariaDB is already making a name
| for itself, and the trademarks are owned in
| numerous regions. Monty has no more children
| (he suggests Lucy, the name of his dog!), so
| we decided that the next best thing is to
| rely on the community for renaming the Maria
| Storage Engine.
|
| [...]
|
| Monty initially only planned to work on a
| next generation MyISAM called Maria, that
| would be crash safe, and eventually support
| transactions. Little did he know that in due
| time, he would not only be working on just
| another storage engine, but a complete
| branch of the MySQL database. Not coming up
| with a name almost immediately, he decided
| to call it MariaDB, named after his
| daughter, Maria.

A Few Words About 'NoSQL' and Other Unstructured Databases
,----[ Quote ]
| No one likes this term. Attempting to
| describe something by what it isnât
| typically doesnât work â and, to make
| matters worse, this is about data-store
| relationships and not about SQL at all. Yet
| NoSQL databases have significant advantages,
| including:
|
| * Seemingly infinite scalability
| (Facebook is using Cassandra to store
| and query 50TB of user inbox data).
| * Extraordinary fault tolerance.
| * High availability.
| * A design-friendly lack of schema.
| * Integration of both RESTful and cloud
| computing technologies.
