I have created this simple screencast to show how you can, using Couchbase do some realtime analysis based on Twitter feed.
The key steps of this demonstration are
Inject Tweets using a simple program available on my Github Couchbase-Twitter-Injector
Create views to index and query the Tweets by

Dedicated to NoSQL and Big Data expert Gwen Shapira for forcing me to think. Bring the past for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day—American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay on Self-Reliance. First, a short but fun quiz. 1. Before relational databases, there

I talked Friday with Deep Information Sciences, makers of DeepDB. Much like TokuDB — albeit with different technical strategies — DeepDB is a single-server DBMS in the form of a MySQL engine, whose technology is concentrated around writing indexes quickly. That said:
- DeepDB’s indexes can help you with analytic queries; (more...)
We’ll call it the NoSQL Pessimism Variable: The number of search results you see before you find a page disparaging NoSQL as a viable datastore option. These pages are usually either good natured posts on why it’s (more...)
My take is that application developers have belatedly but correctly concluded that an RDBMS is not the best tool for every application. For example, relational algebra, relational calculus, and SQL are not the best tools for graph problems. As another example, weblogs are non-transactional and don’t benefit from the ACID

In a post entitled “NoSQL and Oracle, Sex and Marriage,” Cary Millsap asks why NoSQL technologies are suddenly so popular. My take is that application developers have belatedly but correctly concluded that an RDBMS is not the best tool for every application. For example, relational algebra, relational calculus, and SQL

At
last week’s Dallas Oracle Users Group meeting, an Oracle DBA asked me, “With all the new database alternatives out there today, like all these open source NoSQL databases, would you recommend for us to learn some of those?”
I told him I had a theory about how

It's now more than thirty years since I first came across the Oracle database. At that time, Oracle had only just got a distributor in the UK (a small part of CACI, with just three staff: Geoff Squire, Mike Evans and Chris Ellis - soon to be joined by Ian

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE San Francisco (April 1, 2013) – In a dramatic move calculated to give fresh life to the moribund relational database movement, database technology leader Oracle Corporation has eliminated the famous “join penalty” by making it possible to store rows from multiple relational tables in the same database

I believe:
- The trend to clustered computing is sustainable.
- The trend to appliances is also sustainable.
- The “single” enterprise cluster is almost as much of a pipe dream as the single enterprise database.
I shall explain.
Arguments for hosting applications on some kind of cluster include:
A few years ago I wrote an article about "When Big Data is a Big Con" which talked about some of the hype issues around Big Data. One of the key points I raised was about how many folks were just slapping on Big Data badges to the same old

“It’s the analytics stupid!” Obviously the offense is not intended at the dear reader. It’s a wake up call for all the people excited with Hadoop and lack BI vision. The BI people that lack infrastructure vision are also to blame. Blame for what? We’ll see later in this

Since I joined a Big Data Event : Frankfurter Datenbanktage 2013 - I started to take also a look to non-relational technics too. The RDBMS is not for every asepct the correct and fitting and fulfilling answer to all data related IT challenges.
Frequently I wondered about how facebook (more...)
A friend of mine wants to build a simple system to capture ideas, and votes. Even if you can find many online services to do that, I think it is a good opportunity to show how easy it is to develop new application using a Couchbase and Node.js.

Perhaps the single toughest question in all database technology is: Which different purposes can a single data store serve well? — or to phrase it more technically — Which different usage patterns can a single data store support efficiently? Ted Codd was on multiple sides of that issue, first suggesting (more...)
I read this question on Twitter, let me answer the question in this short article.
First of all you need to be sure your documents have an attribute that contains a date ;), something like :
To get the "latest hired employee" you need to create a view, and emit

Most of the applications have to deal with "master/detail" type of data:
breweries and beer
department and employees
invoices and items

This is necessary for example to create application view like the following:
With Couchbase, and many of the document oriented databases you have different ways to deal with this,

As you know,
Couchbase is the open source NoSQL database for interactive web and mobile applications. I plan to read a book about Developing with Couchbase Server. First of all, I had to install it. I chose "Community Edition" for my test. If you will implement it you can choose Enterprise Edition and

After I read a few document about Oracle Linux. I thought I should learn something new today. I didn't have much time. Maybe 30 minutes! So, I started to read a little about
mongodb, then download binary from web. I thought it's cool for installation it.
