I don't really know where to start after reading this - it reads like a collection of poorly-informed reasons that the author dislikes relational databases - almost all of which are entirely orthogonal to the concepts of relational algebra or modern database management systems. For example, SQL injection can hardly be considered a problem with database systems alone - and the problem with using code injection as an example of how RDBMS are "so bad" is that code injection isn't inherent to databases - it's to do with executing unsanitised user input (which is a problem that should be handled in the software accepting user input). Doing a little bit more digging, it appears that the author is peddling his own technology (the "contextual database") which is presumably the solution all these problems... but the product's website has such a scarcity of technical information that it appears to be almost entirely useless. Smells like snake oil to me. |
